This morning we had more time to explore Urubamba. We saw the cemetery, revisited the market area, and had lunch in town.

The Salt Mines in Maras have been a source of salt for over 500 years. Saltwater from an artesian spring is diverted into about 3000 pools where it slowly evaporates leaving salt crystals. Each pool produces about 150 kilos of salt per month.

Maras is also home to the Moray archeological site. The Incas used this area for agricultural research.
