Pillones Waterfall and Stone Forest Tour

Pillones Waterfall itinerary

• Pickup at the indicated location.
• Departure via the road to Yura bordering the Chachani Volcano; following the road, we reach the ghost town “Pampa de Arrieros”, known as the gateway for travelers during train times.
• Then, we will have a brief stop at the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve, impressive for its grandeur and spectacular rock formations, as well as its important flora and fauna. We will make several stops along the route within the reserve to admire the South American camelids (vicuñas, llamas, and guanacos) and the volcanoes from a very impressive perspective, different from that seen from the city of Arequipa.
• Stop for a snack and acclimatization to continue the road via the Arequipa-Puno highway, where we will take a detour and make our stop at the Pillones Waterfall.
• Our next stop will be at the entrance to the Imata Stone Forest, a magical place that will spark our imagination with rock formations from another planet.
• Arrival at the Pillones Waterfalls, where you will see rocks shaped by water erosion, we will see vizcachas (Andean rodents) hopping among the rocks. You can descend to the waterfall, but with great care. Once there, you can take photos, enjoy the warm morning climate, the sound of the water, and time for photography.
• We stop for lunch and return to the city of Arequipa.
