Several gold and silver mines currently operated by Buenaventura and Hochschild to the north of Rio Colca Canyon and the Valley of the Volcanoes stimulate regional development and fulfill environmental standards. Mining leases cover more than 1500 km$^2$. Geological structure of ore deposits is given along with history, production activity, perspectives and sustainable management input of the mines. Mining camps may be adapted for housing of future visitors of National Park Colca Canyon and Valley of the Volcanoes.

Socabaya - Mantaro power line negatively affects landscape and planned road Ayo - Huambo poses some doubts. Creation of geopark shall strengthen poor system of protected areas in Arequipa region.
