Our experience was average. The activities itself such as seeing the condor, hot springs and the canyon view was lovely however, you could easily find other tour companies that would do the same. What we didn’t enjoy was the poor communication from their end. I had to email them about our pick up location as there was no reminder or contact beforehand, nor were we informed about how cold it would be. Albeit this is partly our responsibility however, we’ve had this with other tours we’ve been on in Peru. Also, they do not drop you off at your hotel and you could purchase this activity in person as opposed to online. Lastly, the van was really cramped and there’s barely any room to put your bags etc. Don’t get me wrong, the landscape views were unmatched and something you need to see

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Aquino, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are happy to know you enjoyed the landscapes, the condor sighting, and the Colca Canyon experience, as it is truly one of the highlights of our region. We sincerely apologize for the communication issues and the inconvenience regarding the vehicle space and drop-off. Your comments are very important to us, and we will use them to improve our service and coordination for future tours. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Kind regards, INTIPERU TRAVEL

Day trip to Colca experience

Very good tour, I liked that we weren’t rushed from points of interest, ample of time to take pictures and walk around and admire the beautiful scenery. Comfortable vehicle, in our case large van.

Good value

Raul the guide and Juan the driver made the trip great. Only saw 1 Condor fly (it was beginning of nesting season) so was grateful we saw one. Great value for the cost. Long day starting at 0245 but worth it. Be prepared to get dropped off near the Plaza and walk back to your hotel after a long day. Mine was about 8 blocks uphill.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello! 🌞 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We are so happy to know that Raúl and Juan made your trip so enjoyable. We will pass on your condor congratulations. We regret that we only saw one condor during our visit; indeed, during nesting season, sightings may be less frequent, but we are glad that you were able to see at least one in flight. We also appreciate your comment about the end of the tour; we will take note to continue improving the comfort of our travelers after such a busy day. Thank you again for choosing us and for rating the experience. We hope to welcome you back soon to continue discovering the beauty of the Colca Canyon together. 🏞️

Not sure I'd recommend if you really want to see the condors.

Betty_L, Sep 2025

It's a long day and I was disappointed that we spent less than an hour at the Condor lookout; especially when the entrance fee was $70s. The 1 hr at the Hot Springs was a waste of time for most people on the tour. And shopping in Maca and all the viewpoints would have been better spent with the condors.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello! 🌞 Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We are very sorry that your time at the Mirador del Cóndor felt too short; we understand how special it is to observe the flight of the Andean condor. Our full-day itinerary seeks to maximize time by visiting different locations: viewpoints, towns, and hot springs so that travelers can enjoy the cultural, scenic, and relaxing aspects of the Colca Valley. However, we greatly appreciate your feedback; it helps us review and improve our itineraries. We hope you still have fond memories of the Colca Canyon and that we have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience. 💛
