1/2 day excursion to Laguna de Salinas
Excursion from 6am to 1pm to Laguna de Salinas. This was our second excursion with this agency (Colca Canyon full day done before). By going directly through Puriy, we paid the same Award (75 soles/person) as for Colca, for fewer services: 1/2 day excursion versus 1 full day, and breakfast is not included (contrary to what is written on their website), while it was in Colca. Other people on our bus paid much less by going through another platform/agency (?) Things to do, we were disappointed that we didn't have more time to see the animals in the reserve. On the plus side, we were a lot of French in the group and the Guide exceptionally toured in Spanish/French instead of Spanish/English. In summary, average excursion.

Incredible landscapes!
I traveled with them to Laguna de Salinas, my guide was Franco, he gave us a lot of information about the entire tour and above all, he helped us take photos.

It could be very good! But
19 people instead of 15 max. The minibuses are not comfortable (also full and not air-conditioned) for a stony road. We cross the volcanoes, it looks very beautiful but only 1 stop at the bottom in front of the Misti. Stops are limited to Salinas 1 hour on a 6 hour trip with a meal at 3pm. Breakfast is lousy, lunch too and expensive for the quality in a place with no view. You might as well leave 1 hour later and enjoy breakfast at the hotel. In short, barely 1 hour of stopping in the heart of the Salinas lagoon. It's great but no point of view. Already full of groups present, no walks even though the site lends itself to it. We have to leave when vicuñas cross the salt lakes... I lend my binoculars but the guide doesn't offer anything to observe them. A quick stop to photograph on the side of the Alpaca road. But quickly he goes to the thermal baths, paying for it already at 12 p.m. 1 hour wait if you don't want to do it (20c is not very hot!) at 4500 m. We're leaving for a 2-hour drive, it's 1 p.m., meal at 3 p.m. yay! .another 1 hour to return to Arequipa. And here’s the trick…
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. All feedback is important to us and we are sorry to hear that you had such a frustrating experience. I hope you can see from our other reviews that your situation is the exception. Our team strives every day to make every guest experience enjoyable.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Salar de Salinas Adventure from Arequipa from 6:00am to 1:30pm: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.
How much does Salar de Salinas Adventure from Arequipa from 6:00am to 1:30pm cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Salar de Salinas Adventure from Arequipa from 6:00am to 1:30pm take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Salar de Salinas Adventure from Arequipa from 6:00am to 1:30pm worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 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 Salar de Salinas Adventure from Arequipa from 6:00am to 1:30pm?
+
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 Salar de Salinas Adventure from Arequipa from 6:00am to 1:30pm suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Salar de Salinas Adventure from Arequipa from 6:00am to 1:30pm?
+
Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Salar de Salinas Adventure from Arequipa from 6:00am to 1:30pm 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 Chili River White Water Rafting Adventure with Pickup, Arequipa Rafting on the Chili river free pick-up,snack,&fhotos, 2 Day 1 Night Trek Colca Canyon. 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.
