About Us

The Colca Canyon is really one of a kind in the planet for it’s got wonderful natural beauty and the largest depth! Located at the Arequipa region, close to the Pacific coast, it is currently a premier, quite in demand destination for visitors both foreign and national!

The Colca Canyon Geography

Colca Canyon 2 Day

A wonderful landscape of the Colca Canyon, ideal to spend the best holidays.

The tour begins with a quite relaxing bus ride seeing Arequipa’s Andean range which comprises volcanoes, snowies and even snow-capped volcanoes among big, massive mountains. Some of them still become active from time to time. From a gazer at 4.800 meters above sea level, near Tocra lake, you will have an astounding view of the mountain chain and particularly the farming terraces even from pre-Inca times, most likely made by the previous pan-Andean empire, Wari. The mountainous landscapes are really breathtaking, no second at all to those at the Colorado Canyon.

The Colca Canyon Typical Fauna

Colca Canyon 2 Day

The greatest attraction of the Colca Canyon, the flight of the Condor.

This is really one of the highlights of the package. Along your trip across the amazing Colca Canyon, you will be very close to the typical Andean camels, that is, the llama, alpaca and vicuna, who evolved and differentiated from their African relatives in order to survive the cold weather of the South American highlands.

Truly a great scientific experience! We will also spend time at another gazer, from where we are going to observe a variety of beautiful regional birds and especially the condor, which can be thought as the South American equivalent of the American bald eagle, there it

goes, way up high across the blue sky, a symbol of spiritual elevation even nowadays for Andean people.

Food and Drinks

Colca Canyon 2 Day

Rocoto relleno, a must-see dish in Arequipa.

You will be given the quite energizing and traditional coca leaves tea, of millenary use in the Andean region. Also, we recommend really typical foods in Arequipa, like corn with cheese and the delicious chupe de camarones (shrimp soup), which is the most characteristic of their gastronomy. If you are not allergic to seafood, it will be a great experience we can guarantee you!

The Colca Canyon Villages and Culture

We will also have the wonderful chance throughout the tour of seeing the many communities and villages, meeting the local people and knowing their folklore, going to handicrafts, typical products markets and finally visiting some Inca and pre-Inca time archaeological sites.

As a final note, please do not forget to bring a sun hat, sunglasses and sunblock, for the Colca Canyon is currently one of the sunniest places in Peru. For more details, follow the link to our insider Colca Canyon 2 days packing list and to the article giving best tips for this adventure!
