These Incredibly Gorgeous Salt Ponds In Peru Are Something You Have To See Before You Die!
SHEWALI TIWARI AUGUST 08, 2017
There is no dearth of magic on this planet and you'd be able to find that everywhere, just be sure that you're looking for it.
Chanel and Stevo quit the 9-to-5 drill to see how far they could travel, and are now teaching peeps to do the same. During one of their expeditions, the duo stumbled across Peru’s unique salt ponds, something they've chosen to describe as the world’s most desirable salt.
The pool is 3,000 ponds big...

Peru is not exactly the safest place to visit.

Nowhere near as big, but certainly interesting, and much simpler to get to (though it is still quite a trip)
Kitch-iti-kipi, in the upper peninsula of Michigan.
Turkey has something similar. Pamukkale.when I was there you could get mud from them
are they old rice plots?
Interesting,..
Fall into one and you die?
Pretty colors ... almost like a ... Shining Path.
I saw what you did there.
We saw what you did there...
No thanks
RE: The photos - Thanks for saving me the cost of an airline ticket.
I hope they get stabbed to death in Peru, if only for their entitled millennial names.
man made?
Now that would be a rather challenging location for Naked and Afraid.
The ponds are supplied by a very mineral rich spring. I’ll bet the photos don’t do it justice.
Come for the Machu Picchu. Stay for the muddy hillsides.
Pass.
These are probably the same people advising millennials to go on exciting backpacking tours of the Iranian border.
I’d rather go back to Yellowstone and see colored water ponds. I used to dream of seeing the world and places of wonder I found in my old encyclopedia but then I traveled outside our borders and found that the pictures on the postcards are never how they really are. Most Americans have no idea how lucky they are that they can travel from Florida to Washington state and be among the same great people and see amazing things. You step outside our borders (excepting Canada) and you have to be on your guard 24/7.
Try the Bonaire salt ponds and pier for something a lot closer and safer. Diving under the pier a plus.
wow... just saw them.
ain’t the internet grand.
now i can spend all the money i saved on flying to peru by buying something made in america... like uh, er, like, um... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
maybe i will just visit mt rushmore before they tear it down.
Unfortunately, I agree with you. I love learning about other cultures, and there are lots of places I’d like to visit. But these days, I have no desire at all to travel beyond the borders of my own country. Thankfully, there’s plenty of amazing stuff to see right here.
