الوصف
Experience a 2-day journey from Arequipa to Puno via Colca Canyon. Stay in a Chivay community house, cook Chicha with Quechua hosts, and spot condors at the Cruz del Cóndor.
Sleep inside a Chivay community house — not a hotel — and spend an afternoon preparing Chicha Andina and working the fields alongside Quechua-speaking hosts who share their meals and stories with you. This 2-day route connects Arequipa to Puno through the Colca Canyon, so you keep moving toward Lake Titicaca instead of doubling back.
Day 1 leaves Arequipa at 7 a.m. with stops at Pampa Cañahuas to spot vicuñas and at the Mirador de los Volcanes (4,910 m) for views of Misti, Chachani, Sabancaya and Ampato. You arrive in Chivay for lunch, then join the community for hands-on agricultural work and traditional Chicha preparation. The evening is yours — soak at La Calera hot springs or explore the town before dinner.
Day 2 follows the canyon route through Yanque and the Cruz del Cóndor, the prime viewpoint for the Andean condor, with a final stop at the Maca lookout. After lunch in Chivay, we drive to Puno (around 6 hours) via Patahuasi and Laguna de Lagunillas, arriving by 9 p.m.
Groups are capped at 10 per house. Guiding in Spanish or English included; French and Portuguese on request.
