Maras: Salt Mines from the Past
The Maras salt mines are still active today, just as they were centuries ago. Thousands of salt pans are filled with mineral-rich water that evaporates under the sun, leaving pure salt crystals behind. The visual impact of the site is stunning and uniquely Peruvian.

"All it is is rocks in a paddock," Mr McMaster (farmer)

"Adrian McMaster allegedly used an excavator to remove rocks from an ancient stone arrangement resembling an eel on his Lake Bolac property, between Ballarat and Dunkeld, in 2021. I was moving the stones so I could get the [weed sprayer] in there," the 65-year-old told Ballarat Magistrates Court."
