    Convenient way to transfer to Puno and visit the condors in Colca

    Frances_S, Aug 2026
    A very convenient way to visit Cocoa Canyon to see the condors ( check seasonality of condors) from Arequipa with transfer to Puno. Delivered everything it said it would however no pre- trip communication left me wandering is it would. I eventually went into the office in Arequipa the afternoon before departure to confirm. Had paid for a small group tour but was on a 40 seater bus with no other English speakers. The guide did his best to remember to provide English information as well but it became less certain over the two days. Fortunately I have enough Spanish to understand a lot of what was being said. I had read a previous review of a solo traveller who had a similar experience with Nativa suggesting it’s a risk that should be mansged if possible.

    The trip allows for...

    The trip allows for plenty of stops along the way to Puno including a night on chivay. The plaza de armas was quaint with plenty of artisinal shopping and Andean and food tasty treats. Small enough pueblo to see in an overnight trip. The visit to the hot springs was a great experience as it was timed to sunset hours and it was the most natural hot springs I've seen. The tour guides were extremely pleasant and helpful. Our guide was Omar. We enjoyed seeing the llama farm and the vicunas and flamingos along the way. A quick stop to a small tea restaurant was pleasant.

    Incredible experience not to be missed, would definitely book again with same company!

    Amazing experience, the tour was very well organised with a professional, friendly guide (Flor) who gave insightful information about the Cañon and the animals there in both Spanish and English. The views of the Cañon from the viewpoints will take your breath away and we saw many Vicuña, Alpaca and Llamas as well as 3 Condors who flew right over our heads! The hot springs on the first day were a great experience, very relaxing and in a beautiful setting. Casita de Anita Hotel was very comfortable and in a great location in the main square of Chivay. They provide a good breakfast of ham, cheese, eggs and bread before starting the second day of the tour. The tourist restaurant with typical dances and music is a great experience on the first night and one I would definitely recommend. My tour also included a transfer to Puno at the end which is ideal for travellers heading towards Lake Titicaca or Bolivia. In summary I would definitely recommend this tour! I thought it was good value for money and I would definitely repeat if I’m ever in this part of the world again. Special thanks to Flor the guide and Diego the driver!

    The Arequipa Chivay route and...

    anacarina_h, Jul 2026
    The Arequipa Chivay route and the activities in Chivay were super, the Chivay Puno road the guide didn't know anything we stopped at the same places as the previous route except Lagunillas The first guide whose name was Herman was super good Regarding Nativa Express, which is the agency that took care of everything, I didn't find it very organized in terms of prior communication, I wrote messages and they didn't answer, the info by email was different from what happened: for example: they changed our hotel pickup time and they changed my hotel and upon arriving at the hotel the reservation wasn't made (luckily and thanks to the hotel's willingness they made room for us), and I found out about the time because in Arequipa I saw the agency and I went to ask because they weren't answering my messages The hotel in Chivay was super nice with hot water I liked what I experienced in terms of the landscape

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Estimada Ana Karina: Lamentamos sinceramente la demora en nuestra comunicación y comprendemos plenamente que esta situación haya generado incomodidad. Agradecemos su comentario, ya que nos ayuda a mejorar nuestros procesos de atención y seguimiento. No obstante, deseamos aclarar respetuosamente que la reserva del hotel sí fue realizada con anticipación por nuestra agencia. Contamos con la evidencia de la solicitud enviada al alojamiento el 1 de julio. Lamentablemente, se produjo un inconveniente interno de coordinación por parte del hotel, situación de la cual nosotros no fuimos informados previamente. Por este motivo, le hemos enviado de manera privada la documentación correspondiente, ya que consideramos importante aclarar que la falta de habitación no se debió a que nuestra agencia hubiera omitido realizar la reserva. Respecto al traslado de Chivay a Puno, este servicio corresponde a un traslado turístico y no a un tour guiado completo. Durante el recorrido se realiza la parada en Lagunillas, mientras que las explicaciones de Patapampa, el Mirador de los Volcanes y otros puntos fueron brindadas previamente durante el tour del Valle del Colca. Reiteramos nuestras disculpas por la demora en la comunicación y asumimos el compromiso de mejorar este aspecto. Al mismo tiempo, agradeceríamos que pudiera reconsiderar la parte de su comentario relacionada con la supuesta falta de reserva del hotel, ya que esta sí fue gestionada oportunamente. Gracias por habernos permitido aclarar lo sucedido.
