This excursion is a good option if you want to watch animals and discover a part of the Natural Reserve “Salinas y Aguada Blanca”<\/strong> with nobody around.

We’ll pick you up with a private vehicle around 7AM for a 2h30-ride toward the Lake Salinas<\/strong> of the Natural Reserve. We’ll have the opportunity to watch a lot of animals as vicunas, llamas, fox, flamingos<\/strong>… and a very rich flora too! We’ll walk to the natural pools located in this area half \"salinas\" and half lagoon<\/strong>. You may dip your toe in the water or swim a little.

Picnic outdoor.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Then, we’ll enjoy the slopes of the Pichu Pichu<\/strong>, where you’ll discover the different plants of the area and especialy the <\/span>Azorella compacta, known in spanish as Yareta. This plant grows only above <\/span>4000 meters.

Return to your hotel in Arequipa in vehicle between 3:00 PM and 3:30 PM.

Option: If you feel headache, we propose you to go back towards Arequipa after the picnic (and so lose altitude) and make a stop after the Chiguata’s village<\/strong>. Then you might walk during an hour in the little canyon of Infernillo<\/strong> and admire waterfalls and the sulfur fumes.

If you have the chance to stay longer in Arequipa, we can propose you a Trek in the Colca Canyon<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
