Definition

The district of Chilca, 67 kilometers south of Lima, about 50 minutes along the
Pan-American highway, has much to be proud of. In that zone inhabited the oldest
man of the American coast and they have three lagoons that give health to the
patients. His three lagoons of Las Salinas have given him an already traditional
and

healthy

fame

Miraculous
The first one is called Miraculous. Its groundwater tables or water accumulated in
the subsoil, are highly mineralized. They contain sodium chloride, sulfate, and
calcium carbonate. They are very good for the cure of chronic articular
rheumatism. Black mud that abounds, protects and revitalizes the skin
The Miraculous is a lagoon about 200 meters long by 50 meters wide. It is
surrounded by numerous pools not very deep, where the visitors are smeared with
mud all the body and they remain put a good time to obtain the effect that they
want
Don Enrique Rueda, a kind and long-lived chilcano, twice mayor of the district, tells
us about the characters who visit the lagoons and how they are not only happy but
eternally grateful and healed.
He remembers Don Rodolfo Mayta, happy and grateful to have been cured of a
serious illness, who, in an act of humility, donated the Cross that nailed to the hill
protected the life of the Chilcanos since January 18, 1947.
Mellie:
About two blocks to the sea is the Mellie, a lagoon whose waters are
recommended against genital infantilism, sterility, degenerative and polyarticular
osteoarthritis, rickets. The legend of his fame and the local commentaries assign

him certain virtues against sexual impotence. The many twins who are born in this
area are products of the lagoon at least that is what the people say.
Haunted
The third lagoon, Haunted, that rests in an oasis surrounded by vegetation and the
song of the birds. Here the indications are out of the ordinary and little accustomed.
It reads: place preferred by beings and interplanetary ships. It is recommended to
attend accompanied, never alone. The virtues of its waters prevent hair loss. Its
clay affirms, improves vision and contributes to the healing of infectious, bony and
joint processes.

Conclusion

lot of fun for big and small, that you can make great tours that you will enjoy with
family. Do not look for time to travel, find it.
