From Puno: Colca Canyon Expedition, Ending in Arequipa

Explore the spectacular Colca Valley, where nature and living culture come together. You will enjoy close encounters with vicuñas and breathtaking volcanic landscapes.
Day 1: From the shores of Lake Titicaca to the Volcanic Heart
Your adventure begins early in the morning, when we will pick you up from your hotel in Puno to leave Lake Titicaca behind and venture into the vast Peruvian Altiplano. Aboard our comfortable vehicle, the first gem on our journey will be Lagunillas, a mirror of crystal-clear water where time seems to stand still as you observe Andean flamingos and wild birds in their purest state.

Get ready to see the elegant vicunas, llamas and alpacas that inhabit these highlands in Pampa Cañahuas up close. The highlight of the first day comes at the Patapampa Volcanoes Viewpoint; at an impressive altitude of 16,243 feet (4,950 meters), you'll feel like you're on the roof of the world, with a panoramic view of the stone giants: Misti, Chachani, and Ampato. After descending to the picturesque town of Chivay, we will enjoy a local buffet lunch. In the afternoon, you can soak in the warm, healing hot springs of La Calera, the perfect way to unwind before spending the night surrounded by mountains.

Day 2: The Deepest Canyon and the White City
You will wake up in the heart of the Colca Valley – Chivay – to experience one of the most famous spectacles in South America. We will head to the Mirador Cruz del Condor, the strategic point where the depths of the canyon meet the sky. Here, you will have approximately 1.5 hours to marvel at the majestic flight of the Andean Condor, the largest flying bird on the planet, as it soars through the thermal currents right in front of you.

Our expert guide will lead you along nature trails to learn about the history of the Collagua and Cabana ethnic groups, who transformed this landscape with their impressive agricultural terraces. On the return journey to Chivay, we will make stops in colonial towns, where their white ashlar churches and local markets will allow you to connect with the essence of living culture. Finally, after a refreshing lunch, we will embark on the final journey to Arequipa. We will traverse lunar landscapes and descend from the Andes to drop you off comfortably at your hotel in the “White City” at around 5:00 pm, thus completing a perfect circle of nature and tradition.
