Around Arequipa
If you’re aching to get out of the city and into the countryside, or craving something a bit more active, the small villages near Arequipa present plenty of choices for you.

If you really need to get your adrenaline rushing, then hit the other white waters of the region’s rivers or climb Misti, Chachani and the other volcanoes.
