About this activity

Explore one of the world's deepest canyons on this immersive 2-day journey from Arequipa into Colca Canyon's dramatic highlands. Witness Andean condors in their natural habitat, trek past volcanic terrain, and discover colonial villages while experiencing Peru's most iconic southern landscape.

When you’re in Arequipa, you can’t miss a trip to Colca Canyon (Cañon del Colca), a stunning natural wonder that’s twice as deep as the USA’s Grand Canyon. This overnight trip is a great way to get there and experience southern Peru’s beautiful highland landscapes, villages and wildlife. You’ll visit a wildlife reserve and admire colonial architecture in two highland villages; see and learn about Andean condors; walk on the base of a volcano; and, of course, enjoy spectacular views of Colca Canyon. Transport and two lunches are included in the tour price but overnight accommodation is not; please see Additional Information below for more details.
