And now back to Peru - From a very small but heavily salt-ladened stream in the mountain comes lots of salt thanks to these evaporative ponds. The stream flows at the top of the ponds and flows down through all of the ponds. All of the work is done in about three months after the spring rains and three types of salt are produced and harvested--tan, pink and white. The ponds stay within a family and are passed from generation to generation. Simple but amazing.
