Enjoy a 2-day hiking tour of the Colca Canyon, and immerse yourself in beautiful landscapes as you explore one of the deepest canyons in the world. Depart from Arequipa and admire the Cruz del Cóndor and the views of the Andean Valleys. Start your adventure very early with a pick-up service at your accommodation in Arequipa, and travel to the Colca Valley (3 hours). Make a short stop for breakfast in Chivay. Continue the route to the Cruz del Cóndor (3,800 metres above sea level) to contemplate one of the most amazing natural wonders: the flight of the condors. Arrive at the Pampas de San Miguel (3,300 metres above sea level). Walk along the bottom of the canyon for 6 km (3 hours). Arrive at the town of San Juan de Chuccho, to enjoy a well-deserved break with lunch. Continue the hike through the villages of Cosñirhua and Malata for another 3 km (2.5 hours). We will arrive at Sangalle (2,225 m), a spectacular oasis where we will spend the night. Enjoy a swim in the pool and dinner in the evening. Wake up early the next morning to begin the 3 km hike up the canyon slope, for about 3 hours, admiring the sunrise with incredible views, until you reach the village of Cabanaconde (3,230 m). Travel to the village of Chivay, making brief stops at the Antahuilque viewpoint, with beautiful views of the Andean terraces and the Colca Valley. Visit the town of Maca, with a panoramic visit to its colonial church. Take your time to visit the Yanque hot springs and enjoy the powerful hot water pools, which have healing properties as well as relaxing effects, before enjoying a tasty optional lunch in Chivay. You can take the transfer to Puno by regular bus (optional), leaving Chivay at 13:00 and arriving at the main square of Puno at 19:00. Or, you can return to the city of Arequipa and pass near the Pampa Cañahuas National Reserve, home to different types of camelids such as llamas, alpacas, vicuñas and guanacos, and arrive back to Arequipa. We will drop you off two blocks from the Plaza de Armas.
