What You Will Do
Your day will start with a tour that takes approximately one and a half hours, to visit the Moray terraces and the Maras salt mines. Morays archaeological vestiges are composed of mysterious concentric circular terraces which, according to some scholars, would be an agricultural research center. The higher external terraces would be at a higher temperature than the inner terraces and could simulate the conditions of the different ecological strata of the empire. Maras is a surreal view. It is near Moray and it is an impressive salt exploitation complex. Its huge salt deposits were used to trade them for other products with other parts of the empire. You will return to your hotel at the end of the tour.
