A unique terraced salt pan located in a mountain valley at an altitude of about 3,300m. This area was originally a sea area long ago, and when the area was uplifted, salty water rose from underground, and the Incas used it to create about 3,000 small terraced ponds to produce salt. #Peru #Salinenas Terracing is a traditional agricultural technique that is very effective in soil protection and erosion prevention by cutting sloping hillsides into terraced farmland. Soil erosion preventionTerracing significantly reduces soil erosion by preventing rainwater from quickly flowing down the slope. Each terrace temporarily holds rainwater, increasing infiltration time and minimizing soil loss. Water and nutrient conservation Flat farmland is formed at each terrace, allowing rainwater to permeate evenly and preventing moisture and nutrients in the soil from easily escaping, which is beneficial for crop growth. Irrigation and Drainage Systems Terraced farming involves installing drainage ditches and irrigation systems to prevent water from pooling on each terrace, reducing the risk of flooding and landslides, and preventing the soil from becoming too wet or washed away. #PeruTravel #SaltFish #CuscoTravel #Moray #CuscoCathedral
