Highlights

Pillions Fall is a huge waterfall that stands out for its beauty. Also, the forest of Puruña stones possesses rock formations of volcanic material which, products of wind erosion, were sculpted by the wind into different shapes, such as men, animals, birds, monsters and more. Due to the proximity, both sites are included in a single 1-day tour departing from the city of Arequipa. It is one of the most famous natural tourist attractions. You will also visit Pampa Cañahuas where there is a large reserve of camelids. In addition to the traditional village of Pampa de Arrieros.

About Arequipa

Arequipa, in southern Peru, is a white-stone colonial city beneath the cone of El Misti volcano, close to the deep Colca Canyon.

Arequipa lies at about 2,300 metres in the dry southern Andes, with the cone of El Misti volcano rising above it and Chachani and Pichu Pichu on either side. Its centre is built from sillar, a light volcanic stone that has earned it the name of the White City. The Plaza de Armas has arcades, palms and the cathedral, whose façade stretches the full length of one side.
