MARAS SALT MINES AND MORAY INCA AGRICULTURAL STATION

Pre-Inca Maras salt mines and Moray’s Inca agricultural station are two fascinating tourism wonders of Peru located very close from each other approximately 50 km northwest of Cuzco in the Urubamba valley

The Maras Salt mines, also called Maras salt evaporation ponds, is a myriad of salt crusted terraces precariously nestled against the steep mountain sides, while a steady stream of mineral rich water trickles down with a silent gurgling that somehow defies time. The ponds have been in use since pre-Inca times.
