Tour Itinerary

Our tour starts with the pick up from your hotel in the city of Arequipa at approximately 6:30 in the morning. We will then head out on an exciting excursion to the majestic Pillones waterfalls, located at an impressive altitude of 4600 meters above sea level. On the way, we will make strategic stops in the charming villages of Pampa de Arrieros and Patahuasi, where you can enjoy Peruvian breakfasts if you wish, this comes at your own expense.

Around 10:30 a.m., we will arrive at the starting point for an exciting downhill hike of approximately half an hour to reach the renowned waterfalls. Before reaching this spectacular destination, we will marvel at the curious rock formations sculpted by the persistent action of water over time. As we approach the falls we have to be careful as the path can be a bit slippery and challenging.

Once in front of the falls, you will have the opportunity to capture impressive images, enjoy the warm weather and contemplate the exuberant native flora and fauna of this wonderful place, as well as observe prehistoric animals and even mysterious faces on the rocks.

After marveling at the waterfalls, we will dive into the mysterious stone forest of Imata to discover its unique natural beauty. Afterwards, we will head to the local village to enjoy lunch at a tourist restaurant. It is important to note that the cost of this lunch will be paid by each passenger. Once lunch is finished, we will start our return trip to the city of Arequipa, where we will leave you at your hotel at approximately 5:00 p.m., thus ending this wonderful tour.

Best experience in Cusco My experience with Andino Peru Tour was wonderful. Impeccable, honest, punctual, respectable work. I only have compliments for everyone on the team, from Ricardo, who first assisted us via WhatsApp, to the transfer back home, as well as all the guides, hotel receptionists, and drivers involved in these five days in Cusco.

Andino Peru Tours is a 10! Ricardo, from Andino Peru Tours, has always been very attentive, since our first contact. He was careful with our stay, always looking to know how we were and if we needed anything. We really like the tours and guides offered by the agency, including he managed to change one of the tours that was already included in the package to better meet our needs. It was all very organized. We really enjoyed traveling with Andino Peru Tours and we recommend the agency.

Spectacular. We were happy with our trip through Cusco with Andino Perú Tours. From the first moment, we felt very close and warm attention, always looking out for us and resolving every doubt with kindness. We did Machu Picchu and the Rainbow Mountain, and everything turned out perfect. The service was excellent from beginning to end. The hotel was very good, comfortable, and well-located. The guides were very good, attentive, and always willing to help us. The transportation was also excellent: punctual, safe, and comfortable for all transfers. Without a doubt, a highly recommended agency. If you visit Cusco and want a well-organized experience with a personal touch, don't hesitate! We would travel with them again.
