We pick you up at your hotel
From 6:00 to 6:30 we pick you up from your hotel in Arequipa and start our trip to the Salinas Lagoon at 4,300 m.a.s.l. between the Misti, Ubinas and Pichupichu volcanoes, making several stops along the way.
Town of Chiguata
We will make our first stop at the Mirador de los Volcanes in the district of Chiguata where you will be able to take many pictures.
Afterwards we will be arriving to the village of Chiguata where you can have breakfast in the area.
After about an hour we will make another stop at Alto Simbral to see an Andean forest formed by small trees and bushes, the forest of Queñoales and Yaretales of the Pichupichu volcano.
Salinas Lagoon
Finally we will arrive at Laguna de Salinas, a shallow water salt flat where we will be able to see flamingos and water mirrors during the rainy season (January to March), and animals such as llamas and vicuñas all year round. And if it is dry, it will welcome us with a snow-white color. In the dry season (April to December) we will visit the salt extraction centers, where we can learn about this process and of course with the time to take all the pictures you want.
Lojen mini-volcano and hot springs
Then we will go to the Lojen mini-volcano and the hot springs of the same name, where we can bathe and spend a moment of relaxation.
Lunch in Chiguata
We will return to Chiguata for lunch and then we will start our return trip to the city of Arequipa.
Arrival to Arequipa city
Finally, we will arrive to the center of Arequipa at the Plaza de Armas (in case of private service at the door of your hotel).
