Arequipa: Salinas & Aguada Blanca,Lojen Hot Springs Full-Day

Discover the stunning landscapes of Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve, home to high-altitude volcanoes, lagoons, wetlands, and native Andean wildlife.
Begin your experience with pickup from selected hotels in central Arequipa or a pre-arranged meeting point. From there, travel into the Andean highlands, passing through rural landscapes and enjoying views of the volcanoes that define the region.

Your first stop will be the "volcano viewpoint in the Chiguata area", where you can admire the volcanic scenery and take panoramic photographs. Continue to the village of Chiguata, a traditional Andean settlement at the foot of the highlands. Here, enjoy a breakfast featuring local products before continuing your journey.

Travel onward to "Alto Simbral", located approximately 4,200 meters (13,780 feet) above sea level. Along the way, observe how the vegetation changes with the altitude, including native highland species such as queñua trees, yareta and tola shrubs. The surrounding mountains and vast open spaces offer a glimpse of the distinctive landscapes of the Andean puna.

Next, enter "Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve" to visit the remarkable Salinas Lagoon and its surroundings. Along the way, admire wetlands, mountain scenery and expansive salt flats. Keep an eye out for Andean wildlife, including vicuñas, llamas and alpacas. Depending on the season, you may also spot flamingos and other high-altitude bird species.

Between January and March, seasonal rainfall can cover parts of the area with water, creating mirror-like surfaces that reflect the sky and surrounding mountains. During the dry season, generally from April to December, traditional salt-extraction areas may become visible. You will have time to observe this local activity and take photographs of the distinctive scenery. Water levels, salt-extraction conditions and wildlife sightings vary throughout the year.

Continue to the "Lojen volcanic area and Lojen hot springs", where you can appreciate the surrounding volcanic landscape and enjoy free time to relax in the natural thermal pools, subject to local access conditions. Take this opportunity to unwind before beginning the return journey.

After the visits, return to Chiguata for lunch before continuing your transfer back to Arequipa. Your experience concludes with drop-off at a designated location near the city's Plaza de Armas.
