This trip is an ideal way to take in the incredible Colca Canyon on your journey from Arequipa to Puno.

As the second biggest canyon in the world, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, this is an unmissable destination while travelling in south Peru. It's filled with varied landscapes, colonial villages, stepped terraces, ancient civilisations, and is one of the best places to see the emblematic condor.

The trip begins in Arequipa, from where you'll pass through picturesque towns on your journey north-west towards the canyon, visiting trout farms and observing Andean flamingoes in the lagoons along the way.

At the canyon you'll take in the incredible views, visit traditional villages, and take a hike to Cruz del Condor, where with luck you'll get to see condors gliding on the thermals of the huge mountain surroundings.

This trip includes an English-speaking guide and 2 nights with breakfast in Hotel Mamayacchi in the village of Chivay.

The tour ends with a bus trip through the national reserve park of the Peruvian Altiplano to Puno, where you'll continue your Peruvian adventure.
