Un Origen Ancestral y M\u00edstico<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Antes de los Incas:<\/strong> Aunque muchos creen que son incas, su origen real se remonta a la cultura <strong>Chanapata<\/strong> (200 d.C. &#8211; 700 d.C.) y luego fueron perfeccionadas por el Imperio Inca.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>La Leyenda:<\/strong> Se dice que el agua salada son las <strong>l\u00e1grimas de Ayar Cachi<\/strong>, uno de los hermanos fundadores del Cusco, quien llor\u00f3 de rabia al ser encerrado en una cueva por sus hermanos. Sus l\u00e1grimas formaron este manantial eterno.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.
