Surrounding Arequipa, the Canyon County offers endless day trip possibilities and tourists always enjoy exploring the Majes Canyon in
particular, as well as the petroglyphs of Toro Muerto. Also nearby is
the famed Valley of the Volcanoes (El Valle de los Volcanes), next to
the foot of the Nevado Coropuna mountain. A little further away from
Arequipa but still very much within reach is Lake Titicaca and its
adjacent cities of Juliaca and Puno, while nearer to home, the Salt
Lake (Laguna de Salinas) offers many outdoor activities and when full,
is always brimming with Andean waterfowl. For more Peruvian wildlife,
check out the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve (Reserva
Nacional Salinas y Aguada Blanca), within the Moquegua region.
