Arequipa/Colca Canyon
History & Culture, Andes, Wildlife
This trip takes you from Arequipa on a 3-day adventure through one of Peru's most outstanding natural wonders, Colca Canyon.
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 in all of South America to see the emblematic condor.
During your 3 days here you'll take in incredible views, visit traditional villages and communities, bathe in hot springs, 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.
Immerse yourself in the rich culture and natural wonder of this region with True Peru Travel.
