Unmissable destination in the Sacred Valley - These salt pans are truly unique: salt water that flows from the mountains. The view is truly scenic. The small sample of free salt with the entrance ticket was also very welcome. Absolutely unmissable on a tour of the Sacred Valley.

Thousands of Years Old and Still In Use Today! - Easily one of the more impressive sites in Peru. It’s humbling to know that this site is thousands of years old and is still in operation today. It was built by the Maras people thousands of years ago and started with just 200 pools. The Inka added thousands more pools, and there were even more added on after the Inca Empire fell. This region is famous for its salt production and the secret to it is the forever flowing salt water pouring from the mountain that the salt mines sit on top of. The locals channel this water into various different streams and fill the different square shaped pools. They fill them up to a certain depth so that the sun will melt the water and leave the salt behind. They produce three different types of salt here and ship all over the world. We were lucky enough to see a few workers down below working and harvesting the salt. The women are responsible for filling the pools with water and scraping the salt into bags and the men are responsible for caring said bags up to the top of the hill where they load onto trucks. There are also beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and it really feels like you are in a totally different time. I am impressed by the ingenuity and the willingness to do hard work by the Peruvian people. Definitely a site that every traveler and Peruvian should visit at least once.

It's worth the visit, I highly recommend it, unlike anything I've ever seen. - Beautiful place to discover and understand more about this ancient art (1000 BC). Furthermore, a person from the local community explains to us about the salt extraction process, this tour was spectacular. Furthermore, there is a store with products (salt/chocolates/etc) prepared by people from the cooperative itself. It's worth the visit, I highly recommend it, unlike anything I've ever seen.

Wonderful experience - It was my birthday's trip where this part of Cusco was magical because I could renew my vibes and the view of SALINERAS and terraces in Moray by ñquad bike WAS WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!! I LOVED IT!!

Don't skip this one~ - If you are in the Sacred Valley there are a lot of ruins and sites to see and I wouldn't skip this one, it really is quite a visually interesting experience. The salt flats are massive - so so many, all built into the mountain in terraces, it really is not something you're used to seeing! Also there are little shops and along the way inside which sell the Maras salt plain and also infused with different Andean herbs which make great small gifts for people (very travel friendly as well). It also feels nice to support the people!

Very interesting! - Surprising, these salt terraces fed by water from the melting ice of the mountains. This gives a "snowy" rendering and a titanic job to collect the kilos of salt, add to that a history of property and ancestral heritage. We were delighted to discover this site a little off the beaten track. How beautiful nature is!

A cooperative and a legacy. - An incredible landscape. A cooperative that has a legacy. You can buy chocolate with fleur de sel or small sachets of salt. Nature proves once again that it is well made.

Spectacular - The place is really spectacular. From the road between mountains, to the place. Highly recommended

Reasonable - Just interesting, but the price charged for entry (20 soles in June 2024) is high for visitors. Structure ok, visit that lasts about 30/40 minutes. Several vans at the same time and a mess of people to take pictures. Guides are more concerned about photo than the place itself.

I'll take the salt flats before Moray - Moray really expensive entrance $70 soles per person for what you see. The salt flats much better. They're worth it. The tour was good.
