| This close-up photo of the Maras Salt Mines in the Sacred Valley showcases the various stages of salt production. The salt evaporation ponds are seen in different colors, ranging from light pink and yellow to darker shades of white and grey, reflecting the progression of crystallization. The Incan terraces designed to manage water flow create a striking visual contrast against the mountainous backdrop. This site, still in use today, highlights the Incan agricultural techniques used to harvest salt in a sustainable manner for centuries. |
