Discover the beauty of the Pillones Waterfalls and the intriguing rock formations of the stone forest of Imata on this tour from Arequipa.
Pillones Waterfall Tour
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Arequipa between 6 and 6:30 am and set off on an excursion to the Pillones waterfalls, located at 4600 metres above sea level. On the way, we'll make stops in the villages of Pampa de Arrieros and Patahuasi, so that you can have breakfast on your own.
At 10:30 am we'll arrive at the point from where we'll start a downhill hike for about an hour until we reach the famous waterfalls. Before reaching the Pillones waterfalls, we'll come across dozens of rocks that have been shaped by water erosion over time. We'll cross these curious formations until we reach the waterfall, and walk this path with special care, as it's a difficult access route. Quite an adventure!
Once in front of the waterfalls, you'll be able to take incredible photographs, enjoy the warm weather and contemplate the typical flora and fauna of the region. You'll also be able to pose for the camera, imitating the different shapes of the stones around you. Prehistoric animals, monsters, faces... It will be great fun!
Are you familiar with the Imata stone forest? Don't worry, after the visit to the waterfalls, we'll go into this peculiar enclave to get to know a very special natural environment.
Then we'll make a stop in the village of Imata so that you can have lunch on your own, and then we'll start the return journey. We'll be at your hotel in Arequipa at approximately 5 pm.
