Your Tour Itinerary
6:00 am – Pick-up at your Hotel
Your guide and driver pick you up at your hotel in Arequipa city to begin the journey in a private vehicle.
On arrival in Chiguata, located 1 hour drive from the city, here you will visit the main square and make a stop to enjoy a basic traditional breakfast. Due to the geography of the area, breakfast options are simpler compared to the city’s standard. If you wish to buy water or snacks, there are stores in Chiguata.
Following that, we will head towards the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve. It is important to mention that a large part of the road to get there is unpaved (dirt road). You’ll observe animals in their natural habitat, such as vicuñas, alpacas, flamingos, birds, and vizcachas, among others. You will also stop at the Qaqahuasi viewpoint.
The vehicle will drop you off at the edge of the salt flat so that you can explore it on foot. You will have plenty of time to take photos, appreciate the beautiful landscapes, and explore the lagoon.
Afterward, you’ll travel to the thermal baths of La Mariposa. Those who wish can bathe in the pools.
Finally, from this point, we will begin our return to reach your hotel in the historic center of Arequipa by 1:00 p.m.
Note: It is important to remember that we will be ascending from the city of Arequipa (7,664 feet above sea level) to the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve (12,467 – 13,780 feet above sea level). While the tour does not require significant physical exertion, we recommend being acclimatized beforehand to fully enjoy this experience.
