Traditions run deep in the Sacred Valley and even more in the small town of Maras. From family-owned salt ponds to the delicious fermented corn drink “chicha” and uniquely designed hats, locals come from miles around looking for these handmade masterpieces. Traditional hatter families still make the moulds by hand and thus lie the bases for the refined quality and typical style that is now so highly sought after. Visit the masters at work, observe their techniques and learn about the local heritage and rivalries. The experience goes way beyond hats. Don´t forget to visit Moray and the Maras salt farms while you´re there and enjoy a day of culture, tradition, landscapes and even mystery.
Please allow approximately six hours for the entire experience.
