Between the deepest canyons in the world, Cotahuasi and Colca, in the region of Arequipa, sits an impressive natural site dotted with craters, the Valley of the Volcanoes, 32 volcanoes surrounded by thick lava fields spreading across the landscape with cacti and other native plants.
In the Valley of the Volcanoes, visitors can enjoy exciting adventures on horseback, trekking, mountain bike, rafting, llama trek, SUV 4x4 off-road trips, fishing, and climbing huge rocks. Tourists can also enjoy cultural tours where the locals host visitors, a first-hand experience of the way of life of these Andean communities.
The best time to go is between April and November, the dry season. Among the many natural attractions to visit are the beautiful lakes of Pumajallo, Mamacocha, and Chachas; the petroglyphs of Toro Muerto, as well as archaeological sites from different ancient cultures; the hot springs of Orcopampa and the curiosity of the Kallana Maura volcano, which crater has been fit as a bull fighting arena.
