    great scenery for an interesting method to get salt. the salt collectors apply a small ticket to get in, even if you walk from urubamba to maras without entering the salinas area.
    it seems there's an agency in urubamba providing horses for the trip still for a few dollars. If I haven't had my motorbike horseback would have been my choice.

  • this strange, huge hole in the ground seems not to be an amphitheatre, a stadium or anything like that: each level has it's own microclimate so the incas used it to find out which area of the country was most suitable for each vegetable.
    for sure someone will turn up sooner or later pretending it was an UFO landing site or a huge microwave dish to connect to alpha centauri.

    no water on sales, bring your own

    maras itself
  • Tip Rating:
  • maras itself is worth a little look, at least a stop.
    if you can, avoid just running through to moray spare a minute for maras.

    one more close shot!
  • Tip Rating:
  • salines are a huge white mantle on the nawincocho sides.
    on this damned land where nothing blooms (exc.salt flowers!) and where there are no cattles,indians live from centuries with sun and salt burns.

    close shot upon salines
    at 3000meters high,maras salines are something unique in the world!since inca times,peruvian indians extract salt flowers,"gold" of the poor people which shoots out of the holy mountain.
