Photo of the Day: The Impressive Salinas Mara
| Taken by Aracely | No Comments » | Photo of the Day
Salinas Mara are pre-Inca Salt Mines located just 40KM outside of Cuzco. There are thousands of salt pools that collect salty water from a subterranean stream and letting the water evaporate in the sun. The salt is transported to the city of Cuzco for processing, packaging and distribution.
During our visit we actually tasted the very salty water right from the pools.
