Activities in Arequipa
Walks They can be light walks on the outskirts of the city or may last days. One can also do the so-called "trekking". Sites that are most frequently offered are Sogay, Yura, Paucarpata, Mosopuquio and Characato. Currently, you can take walks from Sabandía to Yumina through the edges of the irrigation canals, fields, crops. One can also see the daily farming activity, small domestic animals, and the terraces that exist in the area. 
Horseriding The rides are usually made around Yumina, Chilina, and Characato. There are some people who offer horses at the request of visitors who can ride along the small roads in the area, being able to observe beautiful canals, animals and typical vegetation of the countryside cultivated in fields under the sun. The Colca Canyon also offers a number of ancient trails ideal for exploring on horseback and enjoy the scenery. Mountain Climbing It is practiced on Misti volcano as well as on Chachani and Pichu Pichu volcanoes. One can also climb Ampato, Coropuna, Hualca Hualca and Mismi snow-capped mountains. There are excellent trained guides that can even take tourists to other international locations. Misti, which is 5825 meters high, is the major tourist attraction, especially because of the excellent weather in Arequipa during 9 months of the year and the absence of technical difficulties in its ascension, which make it possible to practice climbing.
Mountain Biking It can be practiced in the Colca and Cotahuasi Valleys. The recommended points are Chachani, German Camp, and Azufrera to some 4,300 m.a.s.l. You can also make a turn to Chachani and Pichu Pichu, which requires about two days for each volcano. In Arequipa there many rough roads, trails or affirmed roads where you can practice this sport, with any degree of difficulty. Rafting You can practice this adventure sport in Chili River from the grotto of the Virgin of Chapi in Charcani 6 miles downstream, being thus one to two hours in the water, with a difficulty of III and IV, including in the period of no rainfall because the flow is similar from April to December. Some agencies are very specialized, with complete equipment and trained guides on rafting techniques and a safety guide on the boat. In the Colca Valley, rafting can be practiced in a route which takes an hour and a half to Tuti. In Cotahuasi, rafting can take half a day. Another place to practice rafting is Majes Valley.
