The world’s second deepest canyon  – nearly twice as deep as the US’ Grand Canyon – slices through the High Andes for more than 100km. More impressive than its postcard-perfect peaks are its attractions.

Discover colonial towns with buildings in the architectural style of Escuela Arequipeña – a blend of European and native styles, and villages framed by cascading terraced fields. Here you can be as relaxed or as adventurous as you like. Untense your muscles at La Calera hot springs or zip line through the valley as the condor flies.
