The 13 Best Colca Canyon Tours from Arequipa

13 reviewed

Deep enough to swallow two Grand Canyons, and the condors ride the first thermals at Cruz del Condor around eight. Below the Colca trips are compared: the long single day out of Arequipa with its three in the morning start, the two-day version that sleeps in Chivay near the hot springs, the trek down to Sangalle, and the routes that finish in Puno instead of doubling back.

“Great ! Juan Pablo is an excellent guide sharing in-depth knowledge along the way of villages, crops, geology, history, animals, birds and any topic you that tickled your curiosity. His driver Pablo was always there to help you and made sure we had a comfortable ride. First day lunch, dinner with local music and dancing followed by second day lunch were all very good quality and value for money if you chose to join in. After lunch on day two we changed buses for the ride to Puno which was similarly comfortable with a midway stop.”

“Our day at Colca Valley and Colca Canyon was very nice as David is an excellent guide. I feel like we arrived earlyer at many steps so when the other groups arrived, we were already ready to leave again - it did not feel as crowded as I feared. If you want to take good pictures of the condor, bring a good lens.”

Chivay to Puno by air-conditioned bus with a bilingual guide and 4 Andes sightseeing stops, including Abra Patapampa and Lagunillas.

“The bus was comfortable and the guide was very nice. Once we arrived - a transfer to our hotel was included so that was very handy. We got caught in construction traffic so it took us about 7.5 hours which was a long day but to no fault of them. The thing I was most disappointed with - the listing said that snacks, bottled water and free wifi were included. All of those items were never offered. I planned on getting work done on the bus with the free wifi so this was a huge disappointment! And I had to purchase water at a stop for a high charge because…”

“Très belle excusion, beaux paysages. La baignade dans les bains thermaux était également très bien. Le cout des repas n'ėtait parfois pas inclus et les boissons facturées très chères. La qualité des repas proposés ètait très moyenne. Le minibus utilisé pour l'excursion etait complet, c'était compliqué de ranger les valises et paquetages. Il aurait fallu un bus plus grand. Inconvénients compensés par la beauté du site et la chance de voir quelques condors. Mark.”

“This was a great trip and I'm glad the tour guides picked me up on time from my Airbnb as punctuality is not very common in Latin America. Pros: -Hotel pickup/dropoff -Many sites to see before and after viewing colca canyon -Although there was a lot we saw in this day tour I never felt rushed. -Guides were knowledgeable Cons: -I understand Spanish, but if you don't you're not getting all the history and information as they summarize it when speaking in English. -We started off in a big coach bus, but then switched to a small bus which sucked as we were packed inside. -Great tour, but after visiting…”
