Audio Guide of Sachaca Ecological Park

Sachaca Ecological Park is open Monday to Sunday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To get there, you can take public buses from downtown Arequipa toward Sachaca or use a taxi. It is quite easy to reach!

Yes, entry to Sachaca Ecological Park has a small symbolic fee, usually S/ 1 per person. This helps with the maintenance of the site. A fair price to enjoy nature!

To fully enjoy Sachaca Ecological Park and its trails at a relaxed pace, I suggest setting aside at least 2 to 3 hours. That will give you enough time to observe the flora, fauna, and relax in its green areas.

The park is part of the agricultural area of Sachaca, which has historically been a green lung for Arequipa. Its creation seeks to preserve local biodiversity and provide a space for recreation and environmental education for the community.

Any time is good, but the best time of year to visit Sachaca Ecological Park is during the dry season, from April to November, when the weather is milder and the skies are clear. Early morning or late afternoon offers beautiful light and a more peaceful atmosphere.

Sachaca Ecological Park has trails that are mostly dirt paths and not always level. Some areas may present difficulties for people with reduced mobility or wheelchairs, although the staff is always willing to provide assistance.

Absolutely! Very close by you can visit the Sachaca Viewpoint, which offers spectacular panoramic views of Arequipa and Misti Volcano. It is also worth exploring the district's main square and its church.

I recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat, water, and insect repellent. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Do not forget your camera to capture the beauty of the surroundings, and please do not leave any litter behind so this natural space stays pristine!
