Maras Salt Mines, Peru

Powered by a salty river, the salt mines in Maras, Peru are harvested by a cooperative of salt farmers by leading the stream through various salt terraces. I was lucky to visit in the evening, when the setting sought painted the ponds in beautiful colours.

A truly great ˋextravagant´ impression ~ 🧡 ~ due to the water’s so warm color one at first brief glance could be much more inclined to associate it with a gigantic HONEYCOMB than with salt of all things... ha...!
