What you can expect

Day 1.- We will pick you up from your hotel in Arequipa between 3:00 AM and 3:30 AM to head towards the Colca Canyon. On the route, we will stop in the town of Chivay, where we will have breakfast and then head to the Mirador de la Cruz del Cóndor. At the Cruz del Cóndor, we will stop for approximately 1 hour to enjoy the flight of the condor and the view offered by this beautiful vantage point.
At this vantage point, our local guide will be waiting for us with a 4x4 truck that will take us very close to the Infiernillo geyser (Pinchollo geyser). This geyser is located at an altitude of 4,400 meters. Here, we will enjoy the beautiful landscape that this place offers us and the beautiful view of this first geyser. We will spend approximately 30 minutes here. Continuing with the tour, we will begin a 1.5-hour hike to the Fuye geyser. This hike has an elevation gain of approximately 200 meters. During the tour, we'll enjoy beautiful scenery and see many cows and wild horses. We'll also be able to spot condors searching for food in the mountains. After the hike, we'll arrive at the Fuye geyser. This place is magical because it's a small valley of geysers, with several geysers in the form of cauldrons boiling in the ground. Here, we'll have a toast with Pisco Sour, and then we'll return to the first geyser with an hour's hike.
Once we arrive at the first geyser, we will board our van and head to a restaurant located at a natural vantage point on the summit of the Colca Canyon. We will have lunch accompanied by a panoramic view of the depth of the canyon. After lunch, we will take a 15-minute van ride to the town of Cabanaconde. Here, in this traditional town, we will check into our hotel. Once in Cabanaconde, we will have the afternoon free. After dinner, we will go to rest.

Day 2.- At 7:00 in the morning, we will have breakfast, and then we will head towards the Achachihua vantage point. From this vantage point, we will enjoy the panoramic view of the canyon and also the view of the Sangalle oasis. Also next to this vantage point are the ruins of a pre-Inca village. Here, we will see the ruins of this village and the wall that surrounds it. Later, we will return to the town of Cabanaconde to board the tourist vehicle that will take us back to Arequipa. On the route from Cabanaconde to Arequipa, we will stop at the Antahuilque vantage point to enjoy the landscape of the Colca Valley. We will also stop at the Chacapi hot springs for an hour to enjoy their thermal waters. In Chivay, we will stop for lunch, then we will stop at the Volcanoes vantage point to observe the volcanic chain of southern Peru. We will then continue our journey until we reach Arequipa. The tour ends at 5:30 in the afternoon, 2 blocks from Arequipa's main square.
