History
Moray’s concentric terraces functioned as an Inca agricultural laboratory to experiment with microclimates; the Salineras have been salt‑harvesting sites since pre‑Inca times.
Conservation
Stay on established trails to avoid damaging fragile high‑Andean soils and respect the salt pans’ community‑run production areas to support local livelihoods.

Acclimatize first
Spend 24–48 hours in Cusco or the Sacred Valley to reduce altitude effects before a strenuous ride at ~3,400 m.
Hydrate and eat carbs
Carry at least 1.5–2 liters of water and salty snacks; dehydration and fatigue happen fast at altitude.
Protect from sun and wind
Use high‑SPF sunscreen, sunglasses and a windproof layer — UV and wind exposure are strong on exposed ridgelines.
Respect saltworks
Stay on designated paths around the Salineras; these are active production sites and fragile evaporation pools.
Mountain bike with front suspension
Helps absorb rocky, uneven trail and makes long descents safer.
Hydration pack (1.5–2 L)
Keeps water and snacks accessible during climbs at altitude.
Windproof jacket and base layers
Protects against sudden wind and temperature swings common in the high Andes.
