Earlier this week we went for a long walk from a town called Urabamba to a village called Maras. On the way we passed a really interesting place where they make salt. What is incredible is that they have been making salt here for over 600 years - well before the Incas ruled.
The rock contains a lot of salt. As the water runs through the hill it picks up the salt.Then the water is directed into the salt pans through channels. The water is allowed to evaporate leaving the salt behind. Then they scrape the salt up and put it into bags.
There is so much more to say about our lives here but that is all for now.
