Program

Day 1 – Arequipa – Colca Valley

Early in the morning, embark on an unforgettable bus trip to the Colca Canyon, passing through Pampa Cañahuas in the Aguada Blanca National Reserve, home to vicuñas and alpacas (South American camelids). Along the way, you can visit the Mirador de los Andes, the Chucura crater, and the Mirador de Chivay, where you can admire pre-Columbian terraces still cultivated by the native Collaguas. Arrival in Chivay at approximately 1:00 PM. Transfer to your selected lodge. Free afternoon, with the option to visit the region’s hot springs and medicinal baths.

Day 2 – Cruz del Cóndor – Arequipa

Early in the morning, we will depart for La Cruz del Cóndor, where the world’s largest bird can be seen circling above the verdant agricultural terraces cultivated since pre-Inca times. Enjoy the wonderful views of the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest in the world (3,000 m). On the way back to Chivay, we will visit the Chinina Viewpoint, home to the famous Hanging Tombs, and the Siphon Suspension Bridge, which connects the towns of Yanque and Coporaque. We will continue to the town of Yanque, where we will visit its beautiful church and cobblestone streets, among other attractions. We will stop at the viewpoints of Choquetipo, Artahuilque, and the town of Maca to once again observe the Colca Valley. After lunch at a local restaurant, we will return to Arequipa, arriving at your selected hotel at approximately 6:00 PM.
