Arequipa is a province of great cultural and geographical wealth. It is located in the Southeast of Peru. And because its territory has a coast and sierra the climate is varied.

There are numerous points of interest in the Arequipa region. The coastal provinces have popular beaches. The Colca Canyon, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon. Colca Valley provides incredible close-up views of majestic Andean condors soaring in their natural habitat. Cotahuasi, is presently thought to be the deepest canyon in the world. Both canyons offer spectacular scenery and villages as yet unaffected by the modern world.
Further to the north, lies the Valley of Volcanoes where almost 100 cones of various sizes dominate the lava-hardened landscape.

Feb 11, 2008 - Apr 05, 2008
My sleep patterns have dramatically reversed since I´ve been traveling.  I was up at 5:30 in the morning ready to have some breakfast and get on the trail.  We were served a large lovely pancake with strawberry jam and hot mate de coca tea.  The fresh squeezed orange juice was excellent too, as it is all over South America.  After packing up and saying farewells to the nice couple we were on our way.  The first part of the hike took us up a small side valley where we...

'Marlon the tour agent at our hotel reccommended we do the trek in three days, but we decided to tough it out and attempt to do the walk in two days as we needed to move on to Cusco a soon as possible.  'Marlon' seemed like a reasonable guy, but when he said we had to leave at 1am in the...
