Description
Salinas de Maras are salt mines, an astonishing sight as the mountain side is lined with almost 6,000 salt pools, called pocitos. These pools fed by a saltwater hot spring that the Incas diverted. As the water evaporates, the salt is extracted. These salt pools are still used today, each of the local families at least one of the 3,000 ponds.
