Chinchero Tipycal Market
The traditional chinchero market itself takes place every day. In fact, that huge and interesting market organization every Sunday is, where people all gather in the city. Market itself located in the main square.
Moray
The site contains unusual ruins, mostly formed by several huge circular depressions terraces, the mayoress of which is about 30 m (98 ft) deep. The purpose of these depressions is uncertain, but their depth and orientation with respect to the wind and the sun creates a temperature difference of up to 15 ° C (27 ° F) between the upper and lower instance. The large difference in temperature was possibly used by the Incas to study the effects of different climatic conditions on crops. in other words, de Moray was perhaps an Inca agricultural experiment station. as with many other sites. It also has a sophisticated United Nations irrigation system.
Maras Minas
During the pre-Inca times, beginning with the Tahuantinsuyo culture, salt has been obtained in maras by evaporation of salt water (provided by a nearby underground source) in the sun, leaving the salt behind. Salt water has been highly flowing from this nearby stream for hundreds of years. A canal manager flows through the mountain and itself drains down an all the pools below. As the water itself converts to supersaturated salt, precipitating salt crystals start out of the water. The farmers then scrape the salt off one side and collect it once a considerable postagedue itself has gathered. Some salt is sold in a nearby gift shop. Salt mines are available to anyone wanting salt. There are many unused saltwater pools that are available to be cultivated. Any prospective farmer only needs to find a group of unemployed in order to get to work. More than 3,000 pools of salt hay, when the light itself reflects off the pools, the effect is quite impressive.
