Manaure Salt Mines Tour + Wayúu Ranch

At the agreed time, we'll pick you up at the meeting point of your choice and board the minibus to head to the town of Manaure. The trip will take us about an hour.

Once we've arrived at our destination, we'll visit the salt mines of Manaure, known as the "white bride of Colombia" and one of the most important salt mines in the country. Together with the guide, we'll walk among the immense mounds of salt and learn about the importance of the salt industry in the local economy and the production process.

Afterwards, we'll enjoy lunch in a local restaurant, with options including beef, fish, chicken, or salad.

With renewed energy, we'll visit a Wayúu ranch. The Wayúu are a native indigenous population of Colombia and Venezuela. We'll walk among their houses as the locals share their culture and traditions with us.

After 7 hours of immersion in Wayúu culture, we'll return to the starting point in Riohacha, concluding the activity.
