ick up passengers from the indicated location.

Departure along the Highway to Yura bordering the Chachani Volcano, following the road we arrive at the ghost town “Pampa de Arrieros” known for being the gateway for travelers during train times.

We will then make a brief stop at the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve, impressive for its grandeur and spectacular rock formations, as well as important flora and fauna. We will make several stops along the way within the reserve to appreciate the South American camelids (vicuñas, llamas and guanacos) and the volcanoes from a very impressive perspective different from the one seen from the city of Arequipa.

Stop for a snack and acclimatization to continue the journey along the Arequipa-Puno highway where we will make a detour and stop at the Pillones Waterfall.

Our next stop will be at the entrance to the Puruña Stone Forest, a magical place that will blow our minds with rock formations straight out of another planet.

Arrival at the Pillones Waterfalls, where you will see rocks shaped by water erosion, we will see vizcachas (Andean rodents) jumping between the rocks. You can descend to the waterfall, but with great care, once there you can take photos, enjoy the warm morning weather, the sound of the water and time for photos.

After enjoying a day in the middle of nature, we return to Arequipa for lunch.

Return to the city of Arequipa.
