Arequipa
Tour of
Valley Chilina
A relaxing walking tour through the green valley at the foot of the Misti: rural paths, ancient farming terraces and serene corners where Arequipa slows all the way down.
Arequipa's green oasis
At the foot of the Misti volcano, the Chilina Valley is a green oasis of unique landscapes, biodiversity and living farming tradition. Fields and ancient terraces follow the river, and the city feels far away almost immediately.
This is a walk made for nature lovers and laid-back travelers: no rush, no checklist. We follow rural paths between the fields, stop where the views ask us to, and let the valley set the pace.
Why you'll love this
A walk, not a trek
This is Arequipa at its most relaxed: an easy, unhurried walk made for nature lovers and travelers who like to take their time.
Ancient farming terraces
Green terraces carved into the valley centuries ago still follow the river, and many of them are farmed to this day.
At the foot of the Misti
The valley unfolds right below Arequipa's guardian volcano: its cone appears over the fields again and again as you walk.
A pocket of biodiversity
Birdsong, crops and river green: a corner of nature and rich cultural tradition right beside the White City.
What you'll experience
We walk the valley the relaxed way: rural paths between fields and ancient terraces, the river close by, and serene spots where time seems to stand still.
An expert local guide leads the way, with strategic stops at the most impressive views. As you walk, you'll hear how this landscape works: the region's geography, its flora and fauna, and the history of the fertile lands that have fed Arequipa for generations.
Bring your camera: between the volcano, the terraces and the green of the valley, the photo opportunities never really stop.
