Description
Take part in this excursion to the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve, where you can relax and connect with nature.
7:00 a.m. Departure to Laguna de Salinas, at 4,300 m.a.s.l., between the Misti, Ubinas and Pichupichu volcanoes.
Throughout the year we can see vicuñas and sometimes llamas and alpacas. We can also see the vizcacha and, if we are lucky, some Andean fox. We can also observe a plant that only grows at more than 4,000 m.a.s.l. called Yareta (Azorella compacto).
Here we can see three different species of flamingos.
- Phoenicopteras chilensis (Chilean flamingo).
- Phoenicoparras andinas (Great Andean Parihuana).
- Phoenicoparras jamesi (Small Andean Parihuana).
If there is not too much water, we can even cross the lagoon in our 4x4.
After visiting this protected area of the reserve we will return to Arequipa, being able to take photos along the way of beautiful landscapes as well as the Misti volcano.
