Machu Picchu, Salt mines and more Inca farming - Peru

The day had come to reach Machu Picchu to see the work of the Inca's at its finest.  I opted for the two days one night trip to see Machu Picchu and unfortunately we were very un-lucky with the weather.  The pouring rain and cold drenched us too our bones for three hours, but it did not dampen our spirits and we kept exploring every corner of the magical and mysterious site.  As the clouds finally lifted and the sun rays began to creep their way through, we were able to see the peaks of the mountains and the magic that spiraled around us.











About one hour out of Cusco sit these incredible working salt mines.  Only producing salt over a few months of the year due to a long rainy season and muddy water mixing with the salt water to create what appear to be pools of chocolate colored milk.
