Description
Explore the Pillones Falls and the Imata Stone Forest with this excursion. Beautiful nature is waiting for you in the heart of Arequipa!
Itinerary
We will pick you up between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. and we will embark on an excursion to the Pillones waterfalls, located 4,600 meters above sea level. During the journey we will make stops in the towns of Pampa de Arrieros and Patahuasi, so you can have breakfast on your own.
At 10:30 a.m. we will arrive at the point from where we will begin a descending walk for about an hour, until we reach the famous waterfalls. Before reaching the Pillones waterfalls, we will find dozens of rocks that have been shaped by water erosion over time. We will cross these curious formations until we reach the waterfall. We will take this path with special care, since it is a difficult route to access. Quite an adventure!
Once in front of the falls, you will be able to take incredible photographs, enjoy the warm climate and contemplate the typical flora and fauna of the region. In addition, you can pose in front of the camera imitating the different shapes of the stones that you will have around you. Prehistoric animals, monsters, faces... It will be so much fun!
Does the Imata stone forest sound familiar to you? Don't worry, after visiting the falls we will enter this peculiar enclave to discover a very special natural environment.
Next we will make a stop in the town of Imata so that you could have lunch on your own, and then we will begin the return journey. We will be at your hotel in Arequipa at approximately 5:00 p.m.
