Arequipa / Colca

Arequipa lies in the southern part of Peru and borders the departamentos of Ica, Ayacucho, Apurimac, Cuzco, Puno and Moquegua.

There are numerous points of interest in the departamento outside of the province of Arequipa. The three coastal provinces, Caraveli, Camana and Islay all have popular beaches. Various ports can also be found along the coastline, the two most important being Mollendo and Matarani, both in the province of Islay.

 

“Living culture and natural beauty: A new world of discovery.”

The Colca canyon, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, is in the province of Caylloma and the Cotahuasi canyon is in the province of La Union. Colca Valley provides incredible close-up views of majestic Andean condors soaring in their natural habitat. Cotahuasi, at 3,535 meters 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.
