maras salt fields to moray ruins is about 10 Kilometers if you want to walk the established dirt road. It would be an easy trek about 2 to 3 hours depending on your pace. you can take a break and Explore the town center of Maras. you can also take shorter routes along foot trails. use maps to establish your route. I suggest you bring a car or take an ATV since it is hot and there is very little shade along the dirt road route.
