Two-Day Colca Valley Adventure Showcases Peru’s Natural Wonders
Travelers seeking an unforgettable experience in southern Peru can embark on a two-day journey through the spectacular Colca Valley, one of the country’s most celebrated natural destinations. The adventure begins with a morning departure from Arequipa, traveling through the remarkable landscapes of the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve. Along the route, guests enjoy scenic stops at Pampa Cañahuas, Tocra Pampa, and Patapampa, a high-altitude viewpoint that offers sweeping panoramas of the Andes Mountains and opportunities to observe native wildlife.
Upon arrival in the town of Chivay, visitors have time to enjoy lunch before checking into their accommodation. The afternoon brings a peaceful horseback riding excursion through the picturesque countryside surrounding Yanque. Crossing scenic bridges and following routes alongside the Colca River, travelers can admire ancient Inca agricultural terraces that continue to shape the valley’s landscape. Those wishing to unwind further may also visit the nearby thermal hot springs before spending the night in the heart of the valley.
The second day begins early with breakfast and a journey to the famous Cruz del Condor viewpoint. This iconic location provides one of the best opportunities to witness the majestic Andean condor soaring above the dramatic depths of Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world. Visitors can spend time enjoying the breathtaking scenery or take an optional walk along the canyon rim for an even closer connection to the landscape.
As the return journey to Arequipa begins, travelers stop in traditional villages such as Maca, where local culture and architecture offer a glimpse into life in the Andes. After a final break in Chivay for lunch, the tour continues back through the stunning mountain scenery, arriving in Arequipa in the late afternoon. The experience offers a memorable combination of nature, wildlife, culture, and adventure in one of Peru’s most extraordinary regions.

Customer Reviews
Very nice and pleasant expericence with and excellents guide Lila and very safe driver Mr. Edwin. We can recommend. Staying inf Colca lodge with delicious cuisine and nice overnight.
Anyone is willing to take you to the Colca Canyon from private cabs to 40-seat bus tours. On a two day venture Colca Trek got us first to the place where condors are floating upward on the thermals and gave us time and space to walk along the canyon rim watching for all types of birds from parakeets to kestrels. We were the ones on bicycles and taking other satisfying treks. We circled back to the miradors after the crowds were bundled off in their big impersonal buses. Our base was Colca Trek Lodge in Pinchollo where the canyon starts to narrow, where rooms have dramatic canyon views and the food is delicious (Fabrizio is a talented & trained chef). But that’s not all. Our driver (Michi) and guide (Jesus) were warm, knowledgeable and fun. They were the glue for a wisely curated two day experience. Excellent value. Great group energy. Glad I picked Colca Trek.
we had an amazing time during our 2 days colca canyon tour with this company. Vlado saved us with offering us very last minute places for this tour, while our originally bought tour / company didn't pick us up..and I can say I'm happy we went with Colca trek by Vlado instead, as his approach to show the clients the best places while avoiding crowds is real, it's working perfectly - there's great added value in it. The whole experience is so much better this way. Everyone on the team is a true profesional taking care of clients' needs. One of the best experiences in Peru.
