We will then visit the impressive Maras Salt Mines, home to more than 3,000 small salt evaporation ponds spread across the mountain slopes. Salt is produced from a natural saltwater spring, which is channelled through a network of canals into the ponds. As the water evaporates under the sun, salt crystals are left behind and subsequently collected.
This activity is still carried out by local communities and preserves traditional techniques that date back to pre-Inca times. During the visit, your guide will explain how the process works and its importance to the families of the region.
