Salinas de Maras

Salinas de Maras is located along the slopes of Qaqawiñay mountain, at an elevation of 3,380 m in the Urumbamba Valley, 46km outside of Cusco, Peru. This salt mine is a complex network of nearly 3,000 salt pans, shallow pools that are filled by a hypersaline underground spring. 

These salt pans are believed to have been developed in pre-Inca times (pre-1430 AD) and today are active hand-harvested by local families during the dry season, May through November. The naturally pink salt gets its beautiful hue from trace elements in the spring water, including calcium, magnesium, silicon, and potassium.

Geologically speaking, Salinas de Maras lies above the Maras Formation in the Cusco Department of the Andes. The source of the spring water is believed to be from a deep halite deposit within the Maras Formation, dating to 110 million years ago. Geologists believe that millions of years ago, an ocean covered much of central Peru. During the Andean orogeny (mountain building event), these ocean waters were trapped inland, and through evaporation, formed halite deposits that are now the source of the hypersaline spring water.

Rings of Moray in Sacred Valley of The Incas, Peru

Moray or Muray (in Quechua) is an archaeological site in Peru approximately 50 km (31 mi) northwest of Cuzco on a high plateau at about 3,500 m (11,500 ft) and in close vicinity of the village of Maras.

Moray has ancient Inca ruins mostly consisting of several enormous terraced circular depressions, the largest of which is approximately 30 m (98 ft) deep.

Moray has also a sophisticated irrigation system. The purpose of the rings of Moray is uncertain.

Rings of Moray Peru Moray could have been an Incan experimental farm as the terraces descend into the center of each circular formation they present a subtly different micro-climate from the previous terrace. However, it is known that the annual temperature difference between the ground at the bottom of the circles and the highest terrace is 15 degrees C.

This climatic difference has led some archaeologists to believe that these terraces were used by the Incas to experiment with different varieties of plants to improve their crops.

The rings’ depth, design, and orientation with respect to wind and sun create a temperature difference of as much as 15 °C (27 °F) between the top and the bottom.
