    What you'll see and do

    1. Salinas y Aguada Blanca National Reserve

      Transfer from your hotel in Arequipa at 7:30am and we will travel for 4 hours approx. Laguna de Salinas is a high salt Andean lake that receives the waters of an endorheic basin, located between snowy mountains and volcanoes. Open bogs known as bofedales surround the lagoon, being an important plant formation for grazing native camelids such as vicuñas and llamas, as well as habitat for the endemic fish Orestias agassizii and Chilean flamingo. In the Lagoon you can observe birds during and after the rainy season in that period where the artisanal collection or salt collection begins. When the lagoon is dry, the charm is different, we see the blue sky surrounded by volcanoes with a dry white lagoon full of salt. Here we can see the three different species of flamingos, this can be seen only in this lagoon and not in another part of the world. To be more specific, this does not happen even in the most famous “flamingos lake” in Africa (nakuru and naivasha, in kenya) since there can only be observed two species. During the day we will have a box lunch in the middle of nature. Then we return to the city of Arequipa. Arrival to the city of Arequipa approx. 05:00 PM

    Fullday: Salinas Lagoon from Arequipa: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.

    How much does Fullday: Salinas Lagoon from Arequipa cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arequipa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Fullday: Salinas Lagoon from Arequipa take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arequipa is not rushed.

    Is Fullday: Salinas Lagoon from Arequipa worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arequipa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Fullday: Salinas Lagoon from Arequipa?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Fullday: Salinas Lagoon from Arequipa suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Fullday: Salinas Lagoon from Arequipa?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arequipa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arequipa and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Fullday: Salinas Lagoon from Arequipa start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arequipa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Arequipa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Arequipa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arequipa Rafting on the Chili river free pick-up,snack., 2 Day 1 Night Trek Colca Canyon, Chili River White Water Rafting Adventure with Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Arequipa?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Arequipa?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
