Day Trips from Arequipa to Chivay - page 2

The Colca Canyon offers some of the most rewarding hiking terrain in Peru, with steep climbs and spectacular scenery, but without a guide it’s easy to lose your way. This full-day guided tour includes breakfast and lunch plus park fees and round-trip travel from your Arequipa hotel—leaving you free to focus on the canyon experience. Soak up the views from the Cruz del Condor view point and visit the hot springs at La Calera.

Peru’s Colca Canyon is one of the world’s deepest canyons and you can experience it for yourself on this tour from Arequipa. Join a small group and head to the rim of the canyon where you can spot Andean condors. You also make other stops including the pre-Incan terraces of Antawilke, the Yanque hot springs, and a national reserve to see alpacas and vicuñas. Hotel pickup is included for convenience.
