  • About
In the valley leading to the lost city of the Incas, a unique salt harvest has taken place for 2,000 years. Like a vast marble staircase, about 4,200 terraces of salt tumble down the hillside toward the town. There are green, ochre, gray, white, and pink pools filled with this first-grade salt ready to be harvested. These healthy and nutritious pink crystals help stabilize and regulate heartbeat thanks to their sodium and magnesium content.
