Departure by the road 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 in times of the train.

Then we will make a brief stop at the National Reserve of Salinas and Aguada Blanca, impressive for its grandeur and spectacular rock formations, as well as for its 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 and different perspective than the one seen from the city of Arequipa.

We will stop for refreshments and acclimatize to continue our journey on the Arequipa-Puno highway, where we will turn off and stop at the Pillones waterfall.

Our next stop will be at the entrance to the Bosque de Piedras de Puruña, a magical place that will leave us speechless with rock formations taken directly from another planet.

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

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

Return to the city of Arequipa.
