We appreciated the chance to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Colca Canyon during our two-day excursion from Arequipa. The trek was well-paced, allowing us to fully soak in the stunning views and discover hidden oases along the way. Our accommodations were comfortable, providing a relaxing retreat after each day of hiking. One minor drawback was the occasional lack of clarity in the itinerary, which left us a bit unsure at times. Overall, this experience offered a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility that we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

The trek through Colca Canyon was visually stunning, with every turn revealing breathtaking landscapes that made the journey worthwhile. While the hike was invigorating, I did find the accommodation slightly less comfortable than I expected, but the relaxing oasis I discovered at the end of the day made up for it. The meals provided along the way were delicious, showcasing local flavors and adding to the overall experience of exploring this remarkable region.
