Cusco: Tourists will no longer be able to enter the Maras Salt Mines

Cusco: Tourist will no longer be able to enter the Maras Salt Mines

As of past June 15, 2019, the entry of national and foreign tourists to the famous salt mines of Maras, located in the Cusco province of Urubamba, Peru, is prohibited.

 

The news was communicated by the company MaraSal S.A, which stated that the measure was established for health reasons: polluting objects were registered in the pools area, such as hair, papers, plastics, cigarette butts, among others.

 

The visitors who used to enter the salt crystallization pools of Maras now will not be able to do so and from June 15th the tour will end at the general viewpoint.
