Wake up to the peaceful rhythms of Andagua, where life follows the traditional pace of the Peruvian countryside. This morning offers two trekking options, both designed to showcase the diversity of the Valley of the Volcanoes Arequipa:

• A hike to hidden waterfalls, set deep in the countryside, where you’ll enjoy pristine scenery and likely have the trails to yourself.
  
• A trek to the summit of the Twin Volcanoes, offering commanding views across the valley and its countless volcanic cones.

For those who prefer, a horseback ride is available as an optional activity instead of trekking.

In the afternoon, we drive to Laguna Mamacocha, an extraordinary natural spring considered the largest of its kind in the world. Its crystal-clear waters create an oasis in the middle of a stark volcanic landscape. If luck is on our side, we might catch a glimpse of the elusive Andean otter that inhabits this lagoon. For the more adventurous/experienced, there is also the option to swim in its refreshing spring-fed waters.

We return to Andagua in the late afternoon for dinner and another overnight stay with our host family.

• Accommodation: Local guesthouse (basic option)
• Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After an early breakfast, we set out for a rewarding hike to the Mirador de Antaymarca, an ancient citadel built entirely from petrified lava. This site not only offers a fascinating look into the past but also delivers spectacular views across the valley, including the surrounding volcanoes and even the distant peaks of the Colca Canyon region.

While the hike is moderately challenging, it requires no previous trekking experience — just a good level of fitness and a spirit for adventure.

After taking in the scenery, we begin our return journey across the Andes. The drive back to Arequipa is long but filled with ever-changing landscapes — from barren volcanic fields to green agricultural terraces. We arrive in central Arequipa by early evening, marking the end of this unique adventure into the Valle de los Volcanes Arequipa.
