Round-trip tickets range from S\/ 300\u2013500 if booked 2\u20133 weeks in advance. LATAM offers more frequencies but is usually more expensive. The flight takes only 1 hour and 30 minutes.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"faq-item\">\n          <button class=\"faq-question\">How many days do I need to visit Arequipa? <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/button>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\">With 3 days you cover the essentials: city tour, Colca Canyon and gastronomy. With 4 days you can add the Sillar Route or ATV adventure without rushing. The ideal option is the 4-day \/ 3-night package that combines everything in one booking.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"faq-item\">\n          <button class=\"faq-question\">Is altitude sickness a concern in Arequipa? <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/button>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\">Arequipa sits at 2,335 m above sea level. Travelers from sea level may feel fatigue and a mild headache on the first day. Acclimatization is quick \u2014 within 24 hours the body adjusts. Drink plenty of water and coca tea. If you visit Colca Canyon (up to 4,900 m), carry altitude sickness pills as a precaution.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"faq-item\">\n          <button class=\"faq-question\">How much does a Colca Canyon tour cost? <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/button>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\">The Full Day Colca Canyon tour starts from $27 per person in a group with Turismo Liberty.

Flying costs more (from S\/ 170 one-way) but takes just 1h30. The bus is cheaper (from S\/ 100) but takes 14\u201318 hours. If you only have 3\u20134 days, the plane is strongly recommended to avoid wasting half your trip on the road.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"faq-item\">\n          <button class=\"faq-question\">Can I visit Arequipa on a long weekend? <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/button>\n          <div class=\"faq-answer\">Absolutely. With a 3-day long weekend (Friday to Monday) you have time for the City Tour and Colca Canyon. The key is flying Friday night or very early Saturday to maximize your days in the destination.
