Just 90 minutes from Spa – Astro – Maras -Lodge , in the beautiful highlands around it, we can find the nice and authentic village of Misminay. If you are touring the Sacred Valley, the village is nowadays well known as an astro tourism destination. It is a place that you should not miss. Nearby and without a doubt, the mystical cercles of Moray are one of the most instagrammable places in all of Peru. Located on a mountainside and overlooking the valley we will get to know about local textile and pottery traditions. At the same time the family will show us more about their cooking habits and the local plants they are using. After supper we walk slowly but steadily uphill in order to get a nice view from above of the Moray circles. From here we will get closer and get a closed look at this laboratory of the old Inca times. There were temperature differences of up to 4 degrees between the highest and lowest platform. Possibly they used the different circle platform to grow crops and potatoes or other plants in order to see how resistant they were for differences in temperature, wind and rain. They are kept in a very good condition and there are about 5 of them.
From here we return to the Maras – Lodge on an old walking path and we will get to know a little more about local products and harvest traditions.
