Reserva National Salinas y Aguada Blanca
Northeast of Arequipa, the Reserve was created in 1979 to conserve the natural resources and landscapes. A stunning example of the arid Puna environment that extends over an area of 367,000 hectares, it hosts an array of enchanting sights such as lagoons, volcanoes, wetlands, dotted with pre-Inca ruins, and unique wildlife. Thousands vicuñas inhabit the highlands. During the Chaccu, the wild vicuña herds are captured, clipped of their wool, and released.
