His tours in Peru can not be complete without a stop for a day or two in the beautiful Arequipa, Peru’s second city and probably one of the most beautiful. Known as the White City for its buildings whitewashed stone, local volcanic stone, Arequipa is home to many fascinating places that are sure to surprise.
Sports addicts will not be disappointed, as Arequipa and its surroundings offer countless opportunities for exciting adventures. Take a walk in the Colca Canyon, believed to be the second deepest in the world. The bravest dare to raise the most active volcanoes in the country, the Ubinas volcano.
Rising to dizzying heights of 5672, the Ubinas volcano offers a symmetrical conical shape and has a diameter of craters over 600 meters, which is characterized by its irregular shape and its depth impressive, reaching over 300 meters. The climb is not really as difficult as you might think. Just about 3.5 hours to reach the crater of the volcano and an hour to download.
And the rewards are well worth the effort. Once up, look in the crater and you will have the opportunity to observe water vapor and dust from inside and heard the rumbling of the bowels of the volcano. You can also enjoy spectacular views of the valley unfolds before your eyes.
As the volcano is still active, climbing is not always possible. You do not want to be found in the crater during an eruption! If the mountain is not in a state of calm, you can see the flares on the surrounding hills and peaks and at a safe distance. The ideal time to raise Ubinas is from mid-April to October, weather permitting the best views. Do not forget to bring a sweater as the nights can be chilly in the campsite.
