Rainy Season (November – March): Fewer tourists and dramatic storm formations over volcanic landscapes, though afternoon rains may limit outdoor activities.
Unique Experiences:
Historic Properties:
In Arequipa, we favor restored colonial mansions built of volcanic stone, which preserve their original architecture and offer character-filled environments, integrating contemporary comfort into spaces steeped in history.
In the Colca Valley, we work with proposals that prioritize connection with the Andean environment, including accommodations with private terraces and open views of the canyon, as well as spaces that incorporate natural hot springs for a deeply relaxing experience.
Exclusive Experiences:
We complement the stay with unique experiences such as high-end rail journeys through volcanic and highland landscapes, where the journey itself becomes an essential part of the discovery.
We also include proposals that combine wellness and nature, with access to hot springs and strategic observation points to appreciate the majesty of the Andean condor in its natural habitat.
Each stay in this region allows you to experience southern Peru in depth, with balance and an authentic connection to its history and geography.
Where comfort meets the authentic
Arequipa is called the “White City” because of its white buildings built with “sillar” (petrified volcanic ash) back in the nineteenth century.
The great Colca Canyon is three times deeper than the Colorado Canyon and has a striking beauty..
