2D1N Colca Canyon Tour from Arequipa

About this experience

Experience one of the most breathtaking adventures in southern Peru with the Colca Canyon Tour from Arequipa. In just two days, you’ll explore unique high-Andean landscapes, surrounded by vicuñas, llamas, and alpacas, as you traverse the spectacular Salinas y Aguada Blanca National Reserve.
Reach new heights in Patapampa, with unforgettable views of volcanoes like El Misti and Ampato, and relax in Chivay with Andean warmth and a delicious dinner. The most magical moment comes at the Cruz del Cóndor, where you can admire the majestic flight of the condors over one of the deepest canyons in the world. Along the way, you’ll discover ancient Inca terraces that tell the living history of the valley.
