Itinerary

Chivay

Day 1: Arequipa – Chivay

The trip begins with an early morning pickup at your hotel in Arequipa (2,325m), and the final destination is the snowy mountain Chachani. In Pampa Caahu National Reserve, we can expect to encounter vicunas, alpacas, and llamas in the wild, as well as a variety of birds, including flamingos, ibises, and Andean geese, ducks, eagles, and a species of Andean goose, referred to as Kara Kara.

Patapampa is home to a stunning vista of volcanoes and snow-capped mountains (4,800m). Chivay, the Colca Valley’s capital at 3,600 meters, is where we’ll spend the day. Chivay is where I’ll be staying for the night.

Colca Canyon

Day 2: Colca Canyon – Arequipa

Leaving shortly after breakfast (about 6:00 a.m.), we spend the day exploring the left side of the canyon, stopping in picturesque villages like Yanque and Maca, which are home to colonial churches and warm, welcoming locals who are proud to display their elaborately embroidered traditional garb.

Explore the Andean corn, quinoa, amaranth, and other crops that are still grown on hundreds of pre-Inca terraces.

We’ve been walking for two hours now, and we’ve finally made it to La Cruz del Condor, where you’ve been waiting. The canyon’s depth and the condor’s soaring journey are both on display here. Relax and take in the view of the condors at your own pace. You’ll be transferred back to your accommodation in Arequipa upon our arrival at around 5:00 p.m. Around 5 o’clock, we will make our way back to our Arequipa hotel.
