This full day tour from Arequipa will take you to discover the natural and cultural richness of the region. You will start with panoramic views of the countryside from the viewpoint of the volcanoes in Chiguata, followed by a local breakfast in the village. Then, you will explore the Salinas Lagoon, which has two seasons: dry season where the salt lake is formed and rainy season where the water mirrors are formed, where you will be able to see flamingos (depending on the season) and other Andean animals in their natural habitat. The day continues with a relaxing bath in the Logen hot springs and a visit to the Logen mini volcano, and concludes with lunch in Chiguata before returning to the city of Arequipa. This tour is ideal for those who wish to connect with nature and learn more about local traditions.
