Arequipa Magica - 4d / 3n

Enjoy and know the "White City" of Arequipa, one of the most beautiful cities of our Peruvian territory.

Scenario of white architectures deployed in a jewel of the historic center, with the imposing backdrop of snow-capped volcanoes and the Andes Mountains and its famous Colca Canyon, one of the deepest natural canyons in the world.
A formidable excursion that allows you to appreciate altiplanic landscapes, small colonial towns, archaeological remains and most importantly, the spectacle of the flight of condors during the dawn, on the abysmal precipice of 3,191 meters of depth that reaches the canyon.
