After breakfast, start the long jouney towards the Valle de Andagua at 3600m. The journey will take about 10 hours. Accommodation at a basic hotel.

Very early visit to several ancient towns and then to the viewpoint of the Valley at 3800m. From here you will visit the small town of Soporo and then onto Jechepita, a small volcano. Return to Andagua and accommodation.
Day 3: Andagua Today you will visit the twin volcanoes called Los Mellizos at 3700m. A short hike to the rim to view the cones, the craters and a dramatic panorama of the valley. Among the black and grey volcanic cones and lava fields spreading across the landscape are thick, green groves of sanqallo cacti, with chachacoma cacti and ancient, bright-green yareta plants. In the background, in purple hues, against the cristal blue sky, rears Mount Escribano of the Chila massif,
separating the valley from the Colca Canyon. Dominating all are the eternally-white Coropuna and Solimana volcanoes. Return to the Valle de Majes. Accommodation in Corire in a basic hotel.
Day 4: Corire After breakfast, you will go up to the petroglyphs of Toro Muerto. Here you will see the petroglphys that were carved by the Wari in the 9th and 10th centuries. A visit to a pre-hispanic cemetery before lunch and then return to Arequipa.
