Stop at the Antahuilque viewpoint to admire ancient pre-Inca terraces, then continue to the Cruz del Cóndor. Watch for the majestic Andean condors soaring above the canyon and take in the impressive depth of the Colca Canyon.

Along the way, enjoy the changing landscapes and experience the quieter side of the Colca Canyon. Once you arrive, have lunch with a local family before enjoying free time to rest and appreciate the natural surroundings. After dinner, spend the night in a rustic bungalow in a shared room.
Day 2: San Juan de Chuccho – Cosñirhua – Malata – Sangalle
After breakfast, continue your trek deeper into the canyon. Walk through the traditional Andean communities of Cosñirhua and Malata, where you can observe local life and the rural landscapes of the Colca Valley.
Continue along the trail toward Sangalle, an oasis located deep inside the canyon. After approximately 3 hours of hiking, arrive at Sangalle and enjoy time to relax beside its natural pools, with water temperatures of around 20 °C.
After lunch, have free time to rest and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. In the evening, share a family-style dinner and spend your second night in a rustic bungalow or small cabin in a shared room.
