Laguna de Salinas Day Trip

Get your walking boots on and get ready for a hike through the Arequipa countryside. We'll explore the trails surrounding the Misti Volcano, admire the Laguna de Salinas, and make friends with llamas and alpacas!

Laguna de Salinas Day Trip

After picking you up from your accommodation in Arequipa between 6 and 6:30 am, we'll start our journey towards the Laguna de Salinas, located on the edge of the Salinas & Aguada Blanca Natural Reserve.

On the way, we'll stop in Chiguata, a typical village, to have a continental breakfast consisting of juice, mate or coffee, cereals, and toast.

We'll explore the natural setting and discover the plants and wildlife characteristic of the Arequipa region. Look up to see the Misti Volcano, one of the region's ten active volcanoes. During our tour, we'll see an Andean forest formed by small trees and bushes known as queñuales.

Upon reaching Laguna de Salinas, we'll discover its changing landscapes. If the lake is dry, it will appear white, and if there is water, we'll see the salt that collects around it. We may also encounter local alpacas and llamas, and you can spot three types of flamingos.

We'll explore the vicinity of the lagoon and the Lojen volcano, as well as some thermal baths. After the walk, you'll have free time for lunch before we return to Arequipa. The tour will conclude at your hotel around 4:30 pm.
