Don't Drink Water From the Tap and Don't Flush Toilet Paper Down the Toilet: 6/14

Today we left the hotel around 8 am and traveled to two places by bus. The ride was about an hour and half and on the way we stopped twice. Once at a place to view the mountains, and second at a place to view the Salineras de Maras from above. The Salineras de Maras is a salt mine created before the Incan times and it consists of salt beds that dry in the sun and then to this day people harvest the salt and use it to create food for animals and humans, and medicine. The salt mines were so cool! It looked almost like snow, but was hard.

After Salineras de Maras we got back in the bus and traveled to Moray. Moray was a place created by the Incans. No one is sure what exactly it was used for, but some people believe that it was used for agricultural purposes. The Incans are believed to have created different terraces to grow different plants because Peru has many microclimates. We walked around Moray, which has 3 different sites and took a lot of pictures.

After Moray we headed back to Cuzco and had a lecture with Monica and our assistant Henry about Peruvian politics and other social issues. When the lecture ended a bunch of us went to a nearby Starbucks to use the wifi and do some work.
Around 7 pm we went and got dinner at this restaurant called Per. UK. The restaurant was a fusion between food from Peru and the U.K. I ordered a veggie sandwich and then split a dessert of vegan mousse with bananas and strawberries on top. It was amazing!
