Ski tour of the volcanoes, Chachani, Arequipa

The South of Peru is a volcanic range. Ski programs are lighter than in the North and the weather also is better. Also Arequipa is very interesting from an historical and cultural point of view. It is scenic, the typical picture that people have from Peru : we can observe all species of lamas, ladies with traditional skirts, culture terraces of the Incas, cultures of quinoa, corn, etc. The South is the Altiplano.
