Description
This excursion to the Colca Valley gives you the opportunity to admire the breathtaking beauty of the canyon and observe the majestic Andean condors of the region.
We will start picking up passengers from their respective hotels at 7:30 a.m., and then continue on to Chivay and the Colca Canyon. During the trip, we will make a stop at the Yura Cement factory before continuing our tour. After approximately one hour, we will arrive at the National Reserve of Salinas and Aguada Blanca in Pampa Cañahuas, where we will be able to observe the four types of camelids: vicuña, alpaca, llama and guanaco, as well as the flora and fauna characteristic of the region. At this point, we will have the opportunity to admire the view of the back of the majestic Misti and Chachani volcanoes.
We will continue the tour until we reach the tourist restaurant, where we will make a brief 15-minute stop to drink coca tea, which will help mitigate the effects of altitude sickness, as we will be at an altitude of 3,900 to 4,000 meters above sea level.
After enjoying these natural wonders, we will descend to the capital of Caylloma, Chivay, where we will arrive approximately between 12:30 p.m. and 12:40 p.m. We will settle in the hotel, enjoy lunch and at 3:30 p.m. we will leave in the direction of the thermal baths of La Calera.
