With our batteries recharged, we will head towards the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint. From here you can admire the Colca Canyon in all its splendor. Did you know that it is one of the deepest canyons in the world? In addition, we will see the occasional condor, since this area is perfect for the flight of this species of bird.

We will leave the viewpoint and continue the route visiting other towns and viewpoints of the Colca Canyon such as Wayrapunko or Antahuillque. At around 11:30 a.m. we will head to the Chacapi hot springs, where you will spend an hour enjoying its natural pools.

After this dip, we will return to Chivay, where you will have free time to have lunch on your own. Finally, we will meet again and head to Puno, our final destination.

During the trip, which lasts about six hours, we will make stops to stretch our legs at the Patapampa viewpoint, from where you can admire the majesty of the Ampato and Sabancaya volcanoes.
