Destinations

Arequipa - Colca Valley Arequipa, The White City, spreads at the foot of the majestic Volcano Misti, sheltering an impressive architectural wealth. Its historical center has an urban configuration in the Vice-regal and Republican styles, and its beautiful squares, streets, parks, mansions, temples and monuments are well preserved, since most of its constructions are built with "sillar" (White volcanic stone). Finally, Arequipa was declared as Humanity's Cultural Patrimony, by the UNESCO, in 2000.

It is located in the Province of Chivay, 165 kilometers away and about a 4 hour trip from the city of Arequipa. The canyon is more than 100 km. long and its deepest spot is at a depth of 3,400 meters. It is accessible by means of a compacted (Not asphalted) dirt road, that goes by beautiful places and picturesque Andean villages; mainly Collaguas of Tiahuanaco origin (Pre-Hispanic culture from the high plateaus) and Cabanas, of Quechua roots, such as Coporaque, Lari, Cabanaconde, Yanque, Achoma, Maca Pinchoyo, Chumpa, Antahuillque, Madrigal, etc. At present, its benched terraces of Incan origin are being worked on by the area's farmers.

From Choquetico's Vantage Point, one can appreciate the canyon and a set of pre-Incan tombs, halfway up a huge vertical rocky wall. What these ancient men did is admirable and mysterious, as their deep religiousness to honor their dead, is, by all means, worthy of respect. One of the most privileged places to observe the great canyon, is the Cruz del Condor (Condor's Cross) Vantage Point which is the tourists´ favorite spot, because, from there, one can see the huge condors flying out of the precipices´ abrupt walls, to lose themselves in the depths of the canyon. However, one can observe the bottom of the canyon, with a better perspective, from Tapay's Vantage Point.

Chiclayo Chiclayo was a simple village of Indians and mestizos in the road between Lambayeque and Zaña in colonial times. It had the good fortune, however, of being in the center of an important Pre-Incan archaeological area, the site of recent spectacular archaeological discoveries such as the Lord of Sipán in Huaca Rajada, The Lord of Sicán in Batán Grande and the pyramids of Túcume. The Museo de Tumbas Reales de Sipán (Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum) and Sicán National Museum, housing a collection of incalculable worth, has made these discoveries accessible to all.
