Full tour-description:
Day 1 --- Arequipa - Cabanaconde
In the morning we pick you up at your hotel and bring you to the starting-point of the tour. There we'll start our engines. Out of the city, heading to the PanAmerican Highway northbound. After about 100 Km (60 miles) we hit the gravel into the mighty Andes to the pueblo of Cabanaconde.
Day 2 --- Cabanaconde - Chivay
An early "Rise & Shine", because we are heading on gravel to 'Cruz del Condor' to see the condors. After we have seen the condors (no guarantee!) we take the backroads to Chivay on 3,600 meters (11,800 ft). When we have time, we'll visit the hot-springs. In the evening you can stroll the plaza and the little streets of Chivay.
Day 3 --- Chivay - Arequipa
Heading back to Arequipa, mostly on asphalt, we have to take one of the highest passes in South America (4,910 meter / 16,100 ft) and see thousands of llamas and alpacas. Over the 'Aguada Blanca' with her vicuñas, along the big volcanoes of Arequipa: Chachani and El Misti to Arequipa.
