Escape the vibrant bustle of Arequipa and embark on a captivating round-trip adventure to the otherworldly landscapes of the Salinas Salt Lake and the rejuvenating Lojen Hot Springs. Travel in comfort and transition from the city's whitewashed architecture to the expansive plains of the Altiplano, a high plateau nestled in the embrace of the Andes.

As you ascend, witness the dramatic change in scenery, from fertile valleys to snow-capped peaks that pierce the clear blue sky. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and marvel at the diverse flora and fauna, including vicuñas, the national animal of Peru, gracefully grazing on the slopes.

The first stop is the captivating Salinas Salt Lake, a vast expanse of shimmering white stretching as far as the eye can see. Learn about the lake's unique formation, a result of the evaporation of a prehistoric sea millions of years ago. Walk across the smooth, salt-crusted surface, feeling the unique texture beneath your feet, and capture breathtaking photos with the majestic Misti volcano as your backdrop.

Continue your journey to the Lojen Hot Springs, nestled amidst the rugged landscape. This natural pool, blessed by volcanic activity, offers a chance to soothe your muscles and unwind in the warm, mineral-rich waters. Immerse yourself in the therapeutic environment, letting the stress melt away as you soak in the breathtaking panorama of the surrounding mountains.

As you make your way back to Arequipa, reflect on the diverse landscapes you encountered and the rejuvenating experience at the Lojen Hot Springs. With a heart full of memories and renewed energy, return to the “White City” with a deeper appreciation for the natural wonders and cultural richness of southern Peru.
