Overview

A journey with enough room to notice the road.

Explore one of southern Peru’s most dramatic landscapes on the Colca Canyon Tour, a scenic route blending nature, Andean culture, and unforgettable viewpoints. You’ll leave Arequipa before sunrise and travel into the valley through highland scenery until reaching Chivay, where you recharge with breakfast. The highlight of the day is the Condor’s Cross (Cruz del Cóndor), a prime spot to watch the majestic Andean condor soaring above the canyon and to truly feel its immense depth. On the way back, you’ll stop at natural viewpoints and traditional villages such as Maca and Yanque, where you can see colonial churches, local handicrafts, and everyday life in the Colca Valley.
