The half-day tour was perfect for learning about both of these fascinating parts of Peru. The Moray agricultural terraces were so interesting and beautiful - we learned so much about Incan capabilities that we never heard about before. The salt flats are a marvel to see - and you can buy all kinds of salt that are mined there, which make for great, affordable gifts to bring home.
