Salinas Grandes, a huge salt flat in Jujuy and Salta, Argentina. Its lithium, sodium and potassium mining potential faces opposition from indigenous communities and environmental activists.

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.

This breathtaking aerial view captures the ancient salt ponds of Maras, Peru, a fascinating landscape of terraced pools carved into the mountainside. The ponds, filled with salt water from a subterranean spring, create a stunning pattern of white and brown hues as the water evaporates and leaves behind the precious mineral. The Inca created this ingenious system of salt harvesting over 2,000 years ago, and it remains in use today, providing a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the region.
