Which Colca Canyon Tour Is Right for You?

  • Short on time: the 1-day tour from Arequipa shows you Cruz del Condor and the valley in one long day.
  • Most travelers: the 2-day tour adds the Chivay hot springs and a night in the valley, without rushing.
  • Going to Lake Titicaca: the 2-day tour from Arequipa to Puno visits the canyon and drops you in Puno.
  • Coming from Puno: the 2-day tour from Puno to Arequipa does the same route in the other direction.
  • Active travelers: our treks hike down to the oasis at the bottom of the canyon and back up to the rim.

Classic Tour or Trek?

On the classic tour you travel by tourist bus and only walk at the viewpoints and villages. On the trek you hike down a steep trail into the canyon, sleep at the oasis and climb back out the next morning. The trek is demanding because of the slope and the altitude, but it shows you the canyon from inside.

You do not need to go to Arequipa first. Our tours and treks from Puno cross the altiplano to Chivay, visit the canyon and finish in Arequipa. It is the most practical way to travel from Lake Titicaca to Arequipa and see the canyon on the way.
