Summary

Description
Español: Salineras de Maras, Perú. La sal se explota en Maras desde tiempos del Imperio Inca y sigue en funcionamiento con 3.000 pozos de 5 square metres (54 sq ft) cada uno. El sitio está rodeado de montanas salinas, y son las aguas subterráneas de las mismas las que transportan la sal hasta los pozos, que sale a la superficie gracias a la evaporación debido a la exposición de los pozos al sol. Cada mes se alcanzan 10 centimetres (3.9 in) de sal que es entonces empaquetada en sacos para su posterior distribución.
English: Salineras (salt evaporation ponds) in Maras, Peru. Salt has been harvested in Maras since the time of the Inca Empire. The site has around 3000 ponds of 5 square metres (54 sq ft) each. As the location is surrounded by salty mountains, subterrean water deposits the salty water in the ponds; the water evaporates due to the exposure to the sun. After approx. 1 month the level of salt reaches 10 centimetres (3.9 in) and is removed in sacks.
Українська: Соляні ставки біля міста Марас, Перу. Сіль накопичувалась тут ще з часів Імперії Інків. Тут є близько 3 000 ставків, кожний площею приблизно 5 м2. Підземні води наповнюють ставки, які потім на сонці висихають. Приблизно через місяць, коли шар солі досягає 10 сантиметрів, сіль прибирають.
Deutsch: Salinen in Maras (Peru). Seit den Zeiten des Inkareichs wurde Salz aus solchen Salinen gewonnen und die Saline umfasst derzeit etwa 3000 Becken von jeweils 5 Quadratmetern Fläche. Salzwasser aus den umliegenden Bergen wird in den Becken gesammelt und die Salzkruste, die nach dem Verdunsten des Wassers zurückbleibt, wird in Säcken gesammelt nachdem sie eine Dicke von etwa 10 Zentimetern erreicht hat.
Português: Salinas de Maras, Peru. O sal é explorado em Maras desde o tempo do Império Inca e ainda está em operação com 3 000 poços de 5 metros quadrados cada. O local é rodeado de montanhas salinas, e são as águas subterrâneas das mesmas que transportam o sal até os poços. A crosta de sal, que permanece após a evaporação da água ao final de um mês, é então recolhida em sacos após atingir uma espessura de aproximadamente 10 centímetros.
