The Colca Canyon is considered one of the deepest places in the world, it has a depth of 4,160 meters. Its formation is due to the erosion of volcanic rock caused by the Colca River. In addition, it is located near the Valley of the Volcanoes, which contains about 40 volcanoes, which makes it a geologically active zone.
You can also enjoy the National Reserve of Salinas and Aguada Blanca whose extension is 366,936 hectares with an average altitude of 4,300 meters above sea level.
This reserve is famous due to the imposing volcanoes such as Ubinas, Pichupichu, Misti and Chachani, and the snow-capped Chuccura and Huarancante. This territory is inhabited mainly by camelids and a large number of land and water birds.
You will also visit Salinas and Aguada Blanca which is the main water reserve of the city of Arequipa and its surroundings.
