The pools, offering a wide variety of hues, are still maintained and worked with hand tools, following the old Inca tradition. It’s hard work, under a scorching sun at 3200 m of altitude, a daily routine that has barely changed in centuries.

The Salar de Maras were already being harvested in the Inca era, and today people still use the same method, filling the pools with salty water and letting the sun work its magic.

As a surprise within the already stunning landscapes of the Cusco region, the Salar de Maras appears like a mosaic of salty pools. Here, the sun slowly evaporates the water, leaving delicate salt crystals to be harvested, a centuries‑old tradition still alive today.
