4000 salt-collecting pools fed by a hypersaline underground spring that was formed 110 million years ago during the formation of the Andes Mountains.
Originally built 1000 years ago by the Incas, this millennia-long tradition is struggling to stay alive today, sustained by the latest generation of miners handed down the legacy by their family.
Our ranch rests at the foot of the canyon the Salineras occupy, a short hike or horseback ride from this marvel of the world. Come discover the Salineras de Maras with us!
Corn casserole or pastel de choclo is a unique dish from Peru's Sacred Valley. It combines sweet and savory flavors with fresh corn, meat, olives, raisins, and cheese. 🌽
El pastel de choclo del Valle Sagrado es un plato muy especial entre dulce y salado., se prepara con choclos frescos, carne, aceitunas, pasas y queso.🌽

Happy new year and welcome to the rainy season here in the Sacred Valley, Peru! With the new year comes new preparation of the land for cultivating our crops. This is the perfect time to do this as the rain nurtures our soul and allows bountiful and healthy harvests.
With the help of our volunteers, we have planted carrots, radishes, and lettuce; and we look forward to planting more!
Because Peru is so diverse, offering all types of terrain from oceans, jungle, desert, and mountains; we are able to grow nearly every kind of imaginable produce- including coffee! We are able to source fresh coffee beans straight from the trees in the jungle and roast our own beans here at the ranch.
Our staff is incredibly knowledgeable about the process of making coffee; from the planting to the harvesting of the beans, to the collecting, roasting, grinding, and ultimately the moment we’ve all been waiting for- drinking the freshest coffee you can find.
Come join us for a workshop where you will be able to roast, grind, and brew your own coffee. Trust us when we say your taste buds will thank you!
