Long but rewarding day visiting the Colca Canyon
Well organized tour with great communication both before and during tour. Our guide Angie offered detailed explanations of the sites we were to see. At the mirador, we did not see any condors when the fog came in. Thankfully, we moved to another viewpoint and saw them soaring! Our driver Tomas navigated our shuttle van with ease. He safely transported us through winding and narrow roads. A great job well done!

Nice tour that gets one...
Nice tour that gets one to the Yanahuara viewpoint without having to walk or take a taxi. The Iglesia de la Compania near the Plaza de Armas was beautiful and its San Ignacio Chapel decorated with birds from the jungle was amazing. Glad that admission was included, along with the even more expensive admission to the Monasterio de Santa Catalina. Although one can visit these sites on one’s own, this tour saves a lot of time. Jeymi was a good guide. Unfortunately February is not the best month for viewing the volcanoes though because it is the rainy season.

Must do! Great views!
Great time! The guide was funny and interactive, and he took amazing pictures. Definitely wasn't the season for this tour, but was still an amazing view and great tour! I definitely recommend this tour for anyone (but try to go during the season if possible). The restaurant for the day was OK.

Stunning Views
The guide, Nelson, was informative and energetic, providing historic and geographic information of the canyon. Nelson offered the option of including a little trekking towards the viewing outpost, making the visit to the canyon 1.5 hr long, allowing for various views of the canyon. This made the visit more enjoyable. The journey was smooth and activity was well paced. Nelson was clear in setting expectations that the viewing of condors that would be tied to the seasons during the trip, to manage the tour’s expectations.

A must do in Arequipa!
We saved this for the last day of our Arequipa trip but wish we did it sooner so we could do it again and again! Initially felt a bit apprehensive but our guide Elmer was very thorough with instructions and encouraging along the way, taking many pics and videos. Very well organised and so much fun - a must do!

Book This Tour Today!
Absolutely amazing day! Julio was so kind and accommodating. He allowed us to adjust our start time and pick up location. He’s very knowledgeable, responsive and gave us a lot of information about the history, culture and area. He answered all our questions and is an excellent photographer. The lunch his wife prepared was delicious and nutritious.
It’s helpful to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, layers (jacket/coat, sweater, scarf), and wear boots or old sneakers as some areas are muddy. Also you may not have access to an indoor bathroom.

A great way to experience...
A great way to experience Arequipa and its landscape. The driver and guide were superb and the views were miraculous. This activity should only be done by those who are physically able to handle 4,200 meters. Someone on tour was throwing up the entire trip but that is not the fault of the tour guide or driver.
