The Ingenious Salt Harvesting System Peru Has Used for Thousands of Years

Описание: The Maras Salt Pans in Peru are intriguing. The ancient terraces are remarkably ingeniously laid out in the mountainous landscape of the Sacred Valley. The water is used optimally, after which the salt is left behind by the heat of the sun. In this video you'll find 3 tips for your visit.

Around the town of Maras, there are no less than 3,000 salt terraces. The majority of which date from Inca times. A natural hot spring flows through the green mountains and fills the handmade terraces. The sun evaporates the water; the salt remains.

Countless men and women collect the salt almost daily and take it away. I see a woman using her hands and feet to loosen the salt from the bottom. After which she bags it. You can buy the salt of Maras in all kinds of cities and villages. Ask about it; it is top quality. Try to avoid the souvenir version, it is much too expensive. But you can find cheaper salt in the markets.
