Visit one of the tourist routes southern most impressive of Peru in Arequipa and Puno. Start your visit in the white city of Arequipa that has beautiful colonial buildings and it has been declared a World Heritage Site; also it has the two deepest canyons of America, Colca and Cotahuasi. In Colca Valley you can hike along the edge of the canyon or visit the ruins of Uyo – Uyo which combine perfectly with the Andean landscape. For its good climate, Arequipa is a highly recommended destination for a good process of acclimatization and avoids altitude sickness in higher altitude regions.
