PERU CULTURE

Pumahuanca, Urubamba and Yucay are communities with a high Andean crop production, which use the Inca terrace system (“andenes”) and an advanced hydraulic technology. Maras has a spectacular group of more than 3000 salt mines, a product that has exchange value in Southandean villages. Ollantaytambo, Inca village, offers 7 trekking routes to archaeological sites, quarries, terracing and one of the Quechua textile production centers (Wílloc). Local families put visitors up, and they learn ancestral farming techniques and participate in farming activities, irrigation and salt collection, as well as in parties, hiking and Andean rituals
