The valley of Majes River winds up to the west of Arequipa. This is not the Canyon of Colca (less embed, less impressive, etc.) but landscapes are still pretty. There are numerous activities available: canoe/rafting, houseback ridding, bathes… It is also possible to visit the Site of Toro Muerto, an archaeological site where the rock walls are covered by colored petroglyphs representing men, animals, the moon, the sun, etc…
