Salinas Lagoon Day Trip + Pichu Pichu Bike Tour
Salinas Lagoon Day Trip + Pichu Pichu Bike Tour
Having picked you up from your hotel in Arequipa at 6 am, we'll head to the Salinas Lagoon. This salt lagoon is located more than 43,00 metres (14,100 feet) above sea level and between the Misti, Ubinas and Pichu Pichu volcanoes.
Once we're at the halfway point, we'll make a stop so you can fuel up for the day with breakfast. We'll then head to the salt desert and the Salinas Lagoon, where we'll spot birds endemic to this area such as flamingos.
After we've done some birdwatching, we'll visit the famous water mirrors and give you 1 hour of free time to explore the thermal pools on your own. We'll then reconvene so you can meet some of the llamas, alpacas and vicuñas that live in the area.
At around 12 noon, we'll set off on the second part of our day trip. We'll spend 1 hour cycling downhill through Pichu Pichu. During our bike tour, we'll feel the breeze whipping through our ears as we admire the area's spectacular volcanic scenery.
Our downhill bike ride will then come to an end and we'll make our way to a local restaurant so you can have lunch at your leisure. After lunch, we'll return to Arequipa and drop you off back at your hotel at 4:30 pm.
