Inside the terraces, the temperature variations range from 0.5 to 1.5 °c per terrace, which can reproduce up to 20 different types of microclimates. It is said that the purpose of this archaeological center was the sowing of products that did not grow in this area.

These ponds are supplied by an eye of water that comes from the bowels of a mountain, the water that is distributed through canals, moves the salt that will later be extracted by the villagers, after the sun evaporates the water in the ponds.
