Took a moto taxi down the valley from Urubamba to hike up to the salt pans of Salinas. About an hour hike uphill, wishing I had my mountain bike to avoid walking on my broken foot and for downhill entertainment. The salt pans here have been used for salt extraction since the Inca times. A hot spring from the top of the valley releases a small stream of heavily salt-laden water, which is diverted into salt pans and evaporated to produce salt.
