ABOUT
Join our quad adventure and enjoy a wonderful half-day experience at the Maras salt mines and the mysterious Huaypo Lake.
Today, the salt mines still play a vital role in the local economy of indigenous communities who own them. The Inca terraces of Maras were used as an agricultural laboratory to adapt various tubers and grains to different ecological zones.
We are 100% Peruvian!
