Although the village is from colonial times, this salt-producer center predates the Inca times. Here, one can find more than 4,000 salt pans built on the hillside of the mountain. These pools are filled daily by a salty spring water that comes out from the Mountains. The Maras salt mines produces pink and brown color salt, which are distributed in the sacred valley markets.
The last destination to visit will be Chinchero. This is a small Andean community situated about 30 km from Cusco at 3,750 meters. The ancient Incan site offers a fantastic view of the surrounding landscapes. However, the main reason to visit the village is because of the weaving demonstration.
