Zorritos Beach

It is located 30 minutes from the city (by car). It is a beach of fine white sand, has a continuous swell, ideal for trips inside the sea in motorboats, surfing and fishing. Its landscape alone is an earthly paradise where you can enjoy a rewarding holiday.

Lindo Lake

A 750-hectare (1,853 acres) ecological reserve featuring four lagoons where visitors can have pleasant swims in the middle of the jungle. Its pristine waters reflect the vegetation like a mirror making it often difficult to distinguish between the image on the water and the real thing. The lake is one of purest and most placid settings in the Amazon.

Colca Valley

Colca is an inter-Andean valley populated and developed by three ethnic groups: the Kollawas, the Cabanas and the Ccaccatapay.

Cotahuasi Valley and Canyon

Located in La Unión province, 12 hours by car from Arequipa, the valley offers visits to traditional towns and hot springs, the Sipia waterfalls and the geological faults in the canyon. With a depth of 3,562 meters (11,686 feet) the canyon is one of the deepest in the world and the second deepest in Peru, after Colca Canyon.

Mountain biking

Ancient Inca and pre-Inca roads, archaeological sites, picturesque towns and passages, and the opportunity to pass through several ecological areas in just a few hours are the attractions of riding a bike around Peru. There are places like Olleros (to the south of Lima) where there is a descent of 3,600 meters in just 70 kilometers of road.

Titicaca National Reserve
