The best date to visit the lagoon is in April and we could really enjoy the weather, we saw the volcanoes Misti, Chachani and Pichu Pichu without haze. The hot springs were very good despite having a temperature of 29°. The guide knew 4 languages: English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, very good for the experience of tourists who speak these languages.
Take your florid water, it's quite high, but other than that, everything was very beautiful and quite fun
Pick up was ok at 6 am.Vehicle was a 4WD. After collecting another four (six total) we set off. Mist if the road up to the nature reserve was a dirt road so a 4WD was suitable. We collected the bread for breakfast on the way. Reaching the reserve approximately 8am we had breakfast (15 soles) at a table outside, but I think in rain it would have been under cover. Bread, cheese, apple and quinoa juice and tea. The alpacas came on cue and the driver gave us dried plants to give them. We carried on another fifteen minutes to the lake and thermal spring and had 1.5 hrs free time to wander around. Two Ladies went into the thermal pool but said it was only luke warm. (10 soles for national park and 5 soles for thermals used or not) undoubtedly it is an area of great scenery with Misti and Pichu Pichu in their glory. However all the flamingoes were at the other side of the lake and we couldn’t go there because we had to get back. The drive back to Arequipa and through town was very fast, (I’m no wuss as I used to drive a 4WD LWB myself. We we dropped off at 1pm

A relatively short day trip from Arequipa, with stops for breakfast and lunch. There was time to stop and see the surrounding mountains from a nice viewpoint, and there were animals such as alpacas and flamingos to see. The roads were dusty, and it felt like the sand got everywhere.
The service was great, the guides the maximum and the punctuality and safety the best, the salt flats in this time everything is white, I loved
I liked the experience the guides explained to me Many things the transport was punctual and the program was completely respected
