V!VA User‘s Description
Located in the heart of canyon country, Arequipa is a great place to scout around for hiking and trekking tours. Most tour companies located on Jerusalén, Santa Catalina and near Plaza de Armas offer tours of Colca, Cotahuasi, Toro Muerto, and the city tours in Arequipa itself. You can also buy air, train, and bus tickets, and inquire about longer trekking excursions. Prices fluctuate significantly so your best bet is to shop around. In general you get what you pay for, so make sure you know what's included in cheaper tours. Always make sure your company, and its guides are official.
The Asociación de Operadores y Promotores de Turismo de Aventura y Ecoturismo is group of nature lovers that have set a standard for the quality of service and environmental impact that Arequipa tour operators are responsible for. Only the businesses that meet their standards receive their seal of approval. To inquire about a tour operator you can send an email to aptare(at)gmail.com.
