fiona and marcThe Maras salt mine has its roots in the pre-Inca era. Evidence suggests that the local Wari and Inca civilizations were the first to utilize the site's natural salt resources. During the Inca Empire, the salt produced here was considered a valuable commodity and was used for everything from food preservation to ritual purposes.<br> <br> Even today, the Maras salt mine is an important source for the local community. The harvested salt is sold all over the world.<br> The visualy impressive landscape of the site, with its geometric patterns of salt ponds, has also become a popular tourist attraction.<br> This unique salt-producing site consists of over 5,000 small, terraced ponds. Now in the rainy season, the ponds are more brown in color due to the muddy bottom. During the dry season, the ponds are much whiter, as is the harvested salt. <br> <br> —&gt; 📸 12 photos in this post <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/salt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#salt</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/saltmine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#saltmine</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/marassalt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#marassalt</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/maras?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maras</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sacredvalley?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sacredvalley</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/peru?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peru</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/traveling?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#traveling</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/travelphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travelphotography</a>
