2:50AM - 3:20AM. Pick-up from the hotel (if located in the historic center) or, in any case, pick-up will be from Plaza de Armas in Arequipa.
We will take a trip of approximately 3 hours to the town of Chivay to have breakfast and then head to the vantage points in the Colca Valley to take photographs of the pre-Inca terrace formations, see their crop fields, and observe the local people in their traditional clothing.
Then we'll head to the most special place, the Colca Canyon, considered one of the deepest canyons in the world, where we can also see one of the largest birds in the world in its natural habitat. We'll stay there for about an hour.
After the Cruz del Cóndor vantage point, we will head to a town called Maca to see its colonial church and the locals dressed in their typical clothing alongside their South American camelids.
We will then continue to the hot springs to relax for a recommended hour, and then we will continue to the town of Chivay for lunch.
Return to the city of Arequipa. There will be two stops: one at the volcanoes vantage point, located at 4,910 meters above sea level, to observe the Andes Mountains. Then we will continue to the Salinas and Aguada Blanca reserve to observe the South American camelids (llamas, alpacas and vicuñas) in their natural habitat.
The last stop is the city of Arequipa. We will arrive at the tourist parking lot (three blocks from Plaza de Armas).
