"Milongas" circuit, establishments where people of very different ages, origins and

social situations dance until very late at night the most authentic form of Tango (also

the Cuzco School are kept. The viewing-point of Urquillos´s Gully shows us the

presence of the mountain named Shimil, which is a reference that we are in the

highest point. Continue to Maras Salt Mines. It is a small brine spring worked with

very elementary means by a part of the population of Maras and Pichingoto. These

archaeological ruins reveal that this resource was already well-known and used at pre

- Hispanic time, it could have been one of the many sources of supply of salt for the

Inca village. The technique for the extraction of the salt has been very similar to that

used one for nine hundred years or more. During all these centuries this technology

has been conserved and that consists of a true hydraulic engineer installation but of

miniature, since the pool has relatively small dimensions, constructed in shapes of

platforms on one of the slopes of the gorge. Each pool has an entrance channel and

vents the water, this way the steam is expected to come out and later the salt grain

that is settled in the floor is gathered. The extraction is seasonal; it's done in dry

season, from May to November or at the beginning of December. Continue from the

salt mines hiking down the hill to Pichingoto Village. Pichingoto is a Quechua

Community seated in the base of the basaltic mountain of " Qoriq' aqya" with houses

whose facades are done of adobes but whose interior is wrought in the mountain,

they are small caverns or caves that are in the heat of inhabited century XX. Some

indicate that the name comes from "pichinco" = Bird and t' oqo = hollow or hole; their

inhabitants consider descendants of birds and apparently until the first decades of the

present century they inhabited caves in the high part to the other side of the mountain

where the cords aid of and stairs climbed with. The origins of that community are lost

in the dark of the past and it thinks that sometimes they lived in Maras reason why

today also are here last names very common in the district. Continue walking crossing

the river and arriving to Urubamba town. Overnight in Sacred Valley.
