Terraced salt mines of Salinas de Maras - Peru
maras, peru. 20th october, 2022: panoramic view of maras  salt mine in urubamba valley, peru
Maras Salt Mines, also known as Salineras de Maras, consist of over 3000 ponds all connected through an impressive underground network of canals that fill these pools with salt water
Gozo salt pans are an iconic cultural landmark.\nA salt pan is a shallow reservoir dug out of limestone rock to collect seawater. As the water evaporates, white salt crystals remain. The crystals are then dried and packed into salt pouches.\nThe most famous salt pans are in Xwejni Bay near Marsalforn. These salt pans are known for their picturesque view. These scenic 350 year old salt ponds are arranged in a chequerboard pattern and stretch about 3km along the coast. They are part of the centuries old Gozitan tradition of Sea-Salt production that has been passed down within certain families for many generations.\nXwejni Bay, Marsalforn, Gozo, Malta, Europe.

Maras Salt Mines, in the Sacred Valley, Peru
Since pre-Inca times, salt  has been obtained in Maras by evaporating salty water (provided by a nearby  subterranean stream) in the sun, leaving the salt behind. In the mines there are thousands of salt-pools. The Sacred Valley of the Incas or Urubamba Valley is a valley in the Andes  of Peru, close to the Inca capital of  Cusco and below the ancient sacred city of Machu Picchu.

The salt pans at Xwejni Bay in Gozo, Malta, are a centuries-old tradition where seawater is channeled into geometric limestone pools carved into Globigerina rock, then left to evaporate under the sun, leaving behind pure sea salt. Operated by local families using traditional methods, these pans are both a cultural heritage site and a sustainable practice. Set against rugged cliffs and the turquoise Mediterranean, they are a stunning tourist attraction, showcasing Malta’s natural beauty and artisanal craftsmanship.
