    The Cerro de la Sal, located in Peru, was an important source of salt for indigenous peoples in the Amazon Basin. Because indigenous peoples would seasonally gather salt there, it attracted Spanish missionaries, settlers, and soldiers as early as 1635. However, several attempts by Franciscan missionaries to establish Catholic missions were thwarted by indigenous uprisings. In the late 19th century, the Peruvian government established a foothold in the area, leading to the settlement of Europeans and Andeans. The Cerro de la Sal refers both to the salt deposits and the surrounding mountainous region.

    Cerro de la Sal

    Introduction to Cerro de la Sal

    The Cerro de la Sal or Cerro de Sal, (Mountain of Salt) is located in Villa Rica District of
    Oxapampa Province in Pasco Department, Peru. The Cerro de la Sal was an important
    source of salt for the pre-Columbian indigenous people of the Amazon Basin in Peru.
    Because of the seasonal concentration at the mountain by indigenous people (Indians),
    especially the Ashá ninka and Yanesha (Amuesha), Spanish missionaries, settlers, and
    soldiers were attracted to the Cerro de la Sal as early as 1635. Several attempts by
    Franciscan missionaries to establish Roman Catholic missions in the area were thwarted by
    uprisings of the indigenous people. In the late 19th century the Peruvian government
    established a foothold leading to the settlement of Europeans and Andean peoples in the
    area.
    Cerro de la Sal is used loosely to refer to the surrounding region and to the chain of
    mountains extending eastward from the salt deposits.

    == Description ==
    Google Earth locates the Cerro de la Sal about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north of the town of
    Villa Rica. José Amich, an 18th-century Franciscan missionary, described the Cerro
    (mountain or hill) as shaped like a loaf of bread, running for "three leagues," 12.5
    kilometres (7.8 mi), to the southwest and many more leagues to the northeast. The vein of
    salt was on the surface near the summit of the mountain and was "thirty varas," 23 metres
    (75 ft) wide. The salt was mixed with stone and red clay.
