We will travel for 2.30 hours to San Antonio de Chuca (Arequipa - Puno Highway, Km. 154); previously we will have breakfast (not included in the price of the tour).

We will walk 1 Km. a short but somewhat cold route, so you should bring a windbreaker jacket.

We will change the noisy car horns for the sound of the waterfall, energizing us and enjoying a hidden piece of Arequipa.
