A short drive brings the road to a hillside stepped with thousands of small, irregular pools — the Salineras de Maras, still worked today largely as they were centuries ago. A saline spring emerges partway up the mountainside, and the water is channeled into shallow pans where it evaporates in the sun, leaving behind a pink-tinted salt harvested by hand. The color comes from trace minerals in the spring itself, not from any treatment of the salt after the fact.
Deleting this waypoint is permanent and cannot be undone.
