Long trip on windy roads and high altitude. The view along the way was incredible although it was cloudy. Overall it was an efficient trip to go to Puno from Arequipa without backtracking. Colca canyon national park entrance fee was ridiculously expensive for no guarantee of seeing the condors. Only do this one way transfer if you are fit and can handle altitude

Disappointed and very angry

Kim_W, Jun 2026

Don’t book this trip ever! We booked this trip as part of our travels as we needed to get to Puno. The tour operator never arrived. We got up early, was at the meeting point at 3 in the morning and he never arrived and never took our phone calls. Very disappointed also in Viator for using these second grade and not trustworthy tour operators.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

My sincerest apologies; the guide looked for you the whole time, but you were never at the meeting point. Regards, LUIS

Well organised trip although time at canyon was less

Parama_B, Mar 2026

The time given at canyon was only 40mins which was not enough. 1hr was provided for bath in thermal spring, atv biking etc. and the guide said that is what everyone wants

Nice tour

Gina_D, Jun 2025

The pick-up and drop-off times may be delayed but are still acceptable. The travel time is relatively long, but the scenery is worth looking forward to.

Long long bus rides but practical

Condor Mirador

Linda_E, Nov 2024

Condor Mirador was memorable. It was thrilling to watch these graceful birds soar. Adequate breakfast, lunch stop was a good buffet. This was a good way to travel to Puno and see the country at the same time. Our first tour guide David spoke English well, was informative and cheerful. The guide changed after lunch when we transfered to Puno and changed busses. My husband and I climbed up on the bus and saw that there was not enough room on the bus for us. The tour guide said yes there was, go sit down. The last row of the bus had room for three people. We had to squeeze four people back there. My knees then had to be smashed into the seat in front of me. This was a very uncomfortable situation for all of us. This made for a less than ideal experience. A couple of hours and two stops later, two people at the front of the bus got off and thankfully for all of us back there our guide told us we could sit up front.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you for your comments, we will continue working to improve our service.

Poor organization

Jvaquema, Oct 2025

Bad organization, we were late to everything, when we got to breakfast there was no longer stock of butter and other things

Best way to transfer from Arequipa to Puno

Ricardo_S, Sep 2025

Great way to make a transfer from Arequipa to Puno without losing what's in the middle. The guide David was excellent, so we can see the Vale de Colca, Chivay, Canyon de Colca, immense condors, volcanoes, lagoons, thermal pools, alpacas, lamas, vicuñas.. It was an intense but excellent day
