Colca Canyon Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Arequipa, Colca Canyon, Arequipa

We will pick you up from your hotel at 3:00 AM to depart from Arequipa towards the city of Chivay, a 3-hour drive. The one-day Colca Canyon tour begins with our arrival in Yanque, where we will enjoy breakfast. Once refreshed from the early rise and long journey, we will continue to the Condor Cross, a nesting site for these majestic birds, which can reach up to 3 meters (10 feet) in wingspan. We will have time to walk around the viewpoint and observe them in full flight.

Afterward, we will continue by vehicle through Choquetico, Maca, and Antahuilque, stopping at the viewpoint to admire the full splendor of the Colca Valley, as well as the pre-Inca terraces that are still used to cultivate grains and other local crops.

Our next stop will be at the Chacapi hot springs, where we will relax for about an hour. Afterward, we will head back to Chivay to enjoy lunch at a tourist restaurant (S/. 30.00 per person).

After lunch, we will board our vehicle to begin the return journey to Arequipa. On the way, we will stop at the Volcanoes Viewpoint, located at 4,800 meters (15,748 feet) above sea level, from where we’ll have a privileged view of the surrounding volcanoes. We will also stop at the Pampa Cañahuas National Reserve, a wetland where vicuñas and alpacas can be seen. Finally, we will continue our journey without further stops until we arrive at the center of Arequipa, where our tour will conclude.
