The tour starts very early in the morning, with an amazing trek of 3 hours (2.5 miles), ascending the slope of the canyon until we reach the town of Cabanaconde.
After having breakfast in this picturesque town, we will take the transport to go to Chivay.
On the way, we are going to visit the viewpoint of Antahuilque, with amazing landscapes to Inca terraces. Also we will stop by the town of Maca, which stands out for its beautiful colonial church.
The town of Yanque offers us its hot springs (optional*).
Then, we’re going to the town of Chivay to lunch (optional*). On our way back to Arequipa, we are going to have the opportunity to pass through the National Reserve of Pampa Cañahuas, home of camelids as alpaca, vicuña and llamas.
Upon arrival, we will drop you off two blocks from Plaza de Armas of Arequipa.

Hiking through the stunning landscapes of Colca Canyon was an adventure we won’t soon forget. While the breathtaking views and serene nights under the stars made it truly special, we did miss having more comfortable accommodations after long days on the trails.

This trek offered some breathtaking views and a sense of peace that is hard to describe in words. The accommodations were basic but clean, which I appreciated after long days of hiking. One downside was the inconsistent food options, but the stunning landscapes more than made up for it.

We embarked on an unforgettable adventure with friends through stunning landscapes and deep canyons that took our breath away. The overnight stays offered a cozy glimpse into local culture, though the lack of hot showers was a bit of a challenge after long days on the trails. Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations, solidifying our love for hiking and the beauty of the outdoors.

The hiking journey was truly unforgettable, with breathtaking views around every corner that exceeded my expectations. While the local meals offered a delightful taste of authentic flavors, the altitude did make the trek a bit challenging at times, but it was worth every step.
