FROM CUSCO TO AREQUIPA

FULL DAY TRANSFER


During this 700 km-trip our bus will cross hundreds of kilometers through the Andean High Plateau. Along the way we can appreciate the deserted landscapes, the snowy peaks, the lakes and the beautiful view over the volcanoes of the Arequipa region. The highest point of our journey will be at an altitude of 4500 masl.

In the Aguada Blanca Natural Reserve, located in the middle of the Andean Plateau, you will have the chance to observe vicunas (one of the most beautiful Andean camels) in their natural environment. For those who want to get to know the Peruvian fauna better this is a unique chance. After a whole day's journey we arrive to Arequipa the White City and a warm, spring-like weather awaits us here. Our SUV car will drop you at your hotel.
