We begin the tour to Arequipa's Salinas Lagoon with pickup from their hotels, especially those located in the city center.
We will then begin our tour to Salinas Lagoon, where our first stop will be the volcano viewpoint in the Chiguata district, allowing us to observe the Misti, Chachani, and Pichipichu volcanoes.
Afterwards, we'll visit the town of Chiguata, where we'll be able to take a short city tour. You'll also have time to enjoy breakfast in this magical little town.
Continuing the tour, we'll pass Simbral, located at approximately 4,200 meters above sea level, where you can observe the typical flora of the area. After a short walk, we'll reach Salinas Lagoon, where you can see reflecting pools—if you take the tour between January and March, of course—as well as the local fauna, including flamingos and llamas.
Even if you take the tour between April and December, you'll be able to visit the salt extraction centers, which will allow you to take excellent photographs.
Continuing our tour, we'll head toward the Lojen hot springs for a relaxing soak. An optional activity is a visit to the Uzuña lagoon and dam, where kayaking and fishing are available.
