ABOUT
Join our tour to Salinas Salt Flat Lagoon of Arequipa, this attraction is located at 4300 m.a.s.l. at the national reserve of Salinas and Aguada Blanca near Salinas Huito town.
The Salinas lagoon is a spectacular salt flat, it has an extension of 6,182 hectares and it is surrounded by the Picchu Picchu, Chachani, Misti and Ubinas volcanoes. This attraction is also the ideal place to see Andean camelids and the famous Peruvian flamingos; however, the flamingos can only be seen from November to March.
If you want to take the best photos of your trip, sign up for this tour since you will be able to shoot pictures with water mirror effects on the salt flats — similar to the ones at Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia and finally you will top it off by taking a bath at the Hot Springs of Lojen.
