A full private day into the high-altitude reserve behind Arequipa, reaching a real Andean salt lake.
A full-day private tour from Arequipa into the Salinas y Aguada Blanca National Reserve, stopping in the Inca-heritage village of Chiguata before reaching Salinas Lake and its surrounding canyon.
This full-day private tour heads into the high plains behind Arequipa with your own guide and driver, rather than a scheduled coach group. Real stops include the village of Chiguata, where your guide explains local Inca-era agricultural terracing and crops, followed by Salinas Lake itself — a high-altitude Andean lagoon set inside a canyon, with time to see both sides of the water.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.
Hotel pickup in Arequipa is included.
A small Andean village with real Inca-era farming terraces still in use today.
A high-altitude salt lake framed by canyon walls, one of the more remote real landscapes near Arequipa.
Back to your hotel, home, or the airport — whenever your day wraps up.
A full-day private tour from Arequipa into the Salinas y Aguada Blanca National Reserve, stopping in the Inca-heritage village of Chiguata before reaching Salinas Lake and its surrounding canyon.

The Salinas y Aguada Blanca National Reserve was declared on 9 August 1979, mainly to protect the habitat of the vicuña, the slender Andean camelid that appears on Peru's coat of arms. Sources give its area as roughly 366,900 hectares, spread across the Arequipa and Moquegua regions. Vicuña numbers in the reserve are reported to have risen from about 5,000 in 1967 to over 12,000 by 2016.
The drive climbs steadily onto the altiplano, so the day is as much about altitude as scenery. Salinas Lake sits at roughly 4,300 metres, where the air is thin and the weather can swing quickly, and your guide can pace the stops accordingly. The landscape changes with the season: sources describe more flamingos in the rainy months of January to March and a broad white salt crust in the dry months from roughly June to October.
Reports say Salinas is one of the places where three flamingo species can be seen. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the reserve's conservation record makes vicuña and flamingo encounters a realistic expectation rather than a lucky break.
