Arequipa | Salinas Lagoon and lojen thermal baths

We will pick you up at your hotel in Arequipa city centre at 6:00 am to begin the journey to the Salinas Lagoon, located on the border of the National Reserve of Salinas and Aguada Blanca. On the way we will stop in Chiguata, a typical village of the area, for a continental breakfast consisting of juice, mate or coffee, cereal and toast (on your own).

We will go into nature to discover the flora and fauna of the Arequipa region surrounding the Salinas Lagoon.

We will only have to look up to discover that we are on the backside of the Misti volcano.

During the trip we will see an Andean forest made up of small trees and bushes, called queñuales in this area!

Finally we will arrive at the Salinas Lagoon. If it is dry, it will welcome us with a snow-white color. And if there is water, we can approach the shore to see the large amount of salt that accumulates. Did you know that it is the only lagoon where you can see three types of flamingos? In addition, alpacas and llamas will accompany us during our walk around the lake.

We will be able to explore the surroundings of the lake and the area of the Lojen volcano, as well as some thermal baths. After the walk, you will have free time for lunch and then we will return to Arequipa.

We will drop you off near Arequipa's main square.
