For your private tour of Colca Canyon, your private tour guide and driver will meet you at your hotel and take you on a stunning four-hour private scenic journey to Yanque. Have your camera ready as you will stop at some beautiful viewpoints including the Pampa Cañahuas Reserve, which is home to many exotic Andean animals including vicuñas, alpacas, llamas, flamingos, ibis and the Andean eagle. You will witness breathtaking landscapes as you drive past lakes, glaciers and some magnificent volcanoes, such as Ampato, Sabancaya, Huallca, and Misti. Our journey’s highest point of 4800m (15,000ft) will be reached, before heading down the canyon to Yanque. Upon arrival at your hotel, you will enjoy a nice lunch, while taking in the incredible view. In the afternoon, you will have a number of options, such as enjoying the hot thermal springs of Yanque, embarking on a short trek or just relaxing in your hotel while taking in the spectacular view of the beginning of canyon and its terraces.
Day 2
Colca Canyon Tour & To Arequipa By Private Van
Colca (Altitude: 3600 m. - 11811 ft)
Very early in the morning, your private tour guide and driver will meet you at your hotel and show you the most spectacular places of the Colca Canyon. Along the way, we will stop in some small Andean villages where time seems to have stood still and Colonial architecture continues to be well preserved. We will then follow along with the canyon until we reach Mirador Cruz del Condor, which is the most popular viewing point for looking into the depths of the Colca Canyon. At this particular point, the Canyon is around 1200m deep, and you will almost always see a few condors flying with the breathtaking canyon scenery in the background. Once you have taken the very refreshing air of the Colca Canyon, we will begin the trip back to your hotel in Arequipa, which will take approximately 4 hours.
