The sacred valley as its name suggest was a region with important places like residential areas, fortresses, farming areas with so many different products like potatoes, quinoa, a big variety of corn and many others so it means the Incas had to build different group of storehouses, and this time we have the opportunity to visit one of them “Machu Qolqa” which means “old storage” see the big group of storages built in a strategical spot to conserve a fresh product. Another important place part of the sacred valley is Moray and ancient agricultural laboratory; experts believe that the group of terraces perfectly designed served as farming laboratory where according scholars the different levels are providing different growing environments due to the varying temperatures. On the way going to the salt pans of Maras we will pass through Maras town very well known for its colonial doorways.
