Moray and salt mines

We opted for the 'Grey Nomad' tour option today to see more Inca ruins surrounding Cusco. We made a quick stop in a local village where we saw how Llama wool is washed, spun and died the traditional way.
The Inca sight Moray was known as a farming laboratory where habitation and adaptation lead to the Incas having 1500 types of potatoes and 500 types of corn.
The salt mines nearby where an incrediable sight with each family owning their own natural pool. The salt harvested from this sight is too expensive for Peruvians to buy so its exported to Japan.
