on a 30-minute journey on our transport, we will arrive at the salt works of Maras, or the famous "Salt Mines" located in the district of Maras.
The Salt of Maras comes from an ocean trapped in the mountains thousands of years ago, which through a spring that leaves the middle of the mountain flows into the 4,200 pools of the Salineras de Maras, pools that families of the community of Maras work and harvest with an ancient technique for 600 years

Ollantaytambo was a strategic Inca center in the Sacred Valley, built in the 15th century by Pachacútec for military and agricultural control, and later expanded. He played a key role during the Spanish conquest as a point of resistance under the command of Manco Inca, achieving even a victory against the Spanish before his subsequent retreat. Currently, it is a famous tourist destination and the gateway to Machu Picchu, which retains its Inca urban design.
