Maras, Peru
November 24, 2013 by staff
Maras, Peru, Maras is a town in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 40 kilometers north of Cuzco, in the Cuzco Region of Peru. The town is well known for its nearby salt evaporation ponds, in use since Inca times. The salt-evaporation ponds are up-slope, less than a kilometer west of the town.
The Maras area is accessible only by a poorly maintained dirt road, which leads from the main road leading through the Sacred Valley between Cuzco and the surrounding towns. Tourist sites in the area include the colonial church and local salt mines, and the surrounding scenery is interesting to observe and photograph with views of the Andean mountains on the horizon.
