About this activity

Combine Arequipa's colonial architecture and UNESCO-listed historic centre with a journey to one of Earth's deepest canyons, where Andean condors soar above dramatic terraced landscapes. This 4-day immersion covers baroque convents, volcanic peaks, and the raw natural wonder of Colca Canyon in a single package.


Come to Arequipa to discover the beauty of the city, visiting amazing convents, temples and colonial mansions, as well as the historic center considered as a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site.

Explore this fantastic place surrounded by volcanoes and impressive mountains, located  just 3 hours from the impressive Colca Valley.

Get to know one of the deepest canyons in the world, where we will find beautiful landscapes surrounded by platforms, snow-capped mountains and incredible fauna.

Highlights

  • UNESCO World Heritage historic centre of Arequipa with colonial mansions and baroque architecture
  • Working convents and religious temples showcasing Peru's spiritual heritage
  • Colca Canyon—one of the world's deepest canyons with condor sightings and snow-capped peaks
  • High-altitude Andean landscapes with traditional agricultural terraces
  • Minivan transport through volcanic terrain and mountain passes

Insider tips

  • Visit Colca Canyon at dawn from designated viewpoints like Cruz del Condor for the best chance of seeing condors in flight.
  • Arequipa's historic centre is compact and walkable; dedicate time to exploring side streets where locals eat and shop away from tourist areas.
  • The altitude in this region (2,300–4,000m) requires acclimatisation; allow your first day in Arequipa to adjust before heading to higher elevations.

Good to know

  • 4-day tour includes minivan transport; confirm exact pickup location and time with supplier upon booking.
  • Bring layers, sun protection, and sturdy walking shoes for uneven terrain and variable mountain weather.
  • Most sites are accessible by road, but some convent visits and canyon viewpoints involve short walks on stone paths.
  • Accommodation and meals not always included in base price—clarify with supplier what's covered.
