@hammitheexplorer: These are the Salineras de Maras 🇵🇪 Thousands of salt ponds carved into the mountainside outside Cusco, fed by naturally salty spring water and harvested using techniques passed down for generations. But the coolest part? The salt mines belong to the local Maras and Pichingoto communities, and the community-run operation now includes more than 600 families. Many of the individual salt ponds are passed down within families from one generation to the next. One of those places that looks incredible, but gets even more interesting once you understand the story behind it. 📍 Maras, Sacred Valley, Peru #peru #maraş #cusco #sacredvalley #perutravel
