Colca Canyon from Arequipa ! A Truly Breathtaking Experience

5.00Great 2 day hike Colca Canyon from Arequipa, Very good place, something you need to visit if you come to Arequipa. A spectacular canyon, and in my view even more spectacular historical site. Definitely try to get to the canyon early! Condors are only usually seen between 8am-10am. We had luck in seeing 2! This place is worth going through what I went through. Pictures don't describe the beauty of it. Please visit the canyon if you are ever in arequipa.
Nice 2 days trek to the Colca Canyon

5.00I had a wonderful -2day trip to the Colca Canyon! Just the place we were looking for in Peru. The views are breathtaking and there are few places I have seen with such views. Try to get to the canyon early! Condors are only usually seen between 8am-10am. Amazing experience to see the Condors flying around the canyon. This place is so special and the hostels are so friendly and so chilled. We had a great guide, spoke very good English. A really friendly guy.
Colca Canyon is breathtaking

5.00We did a 2 days hike through the Colca Canyon. The views are absolutely amazing! To get to Colca Canyon, there is a zig-zag road up a mountain range - so be prepared for an exciting drive to this area. As for the views at Colca Canyon, the views are stunning, and the canyon is deep. 6-7 hour bus ride from Arequipa Watching the Condors was the highlight of course, but staying here for a few days is unmatched. I enjoyed the hiking treks, discovering traditions, meetings with local people, and to we their lives in their natural environment.
Amazing experience

5.00Beautiful place where you can see wild condors. The landscapes of Colca Canyon are absolutely unbelievable. The natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and affordability make it a must-see destination for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Peru. There’s a short hike, but it’s uphill. Our guide was also very nice, spoke perfect English, informative and kept us to time. A moment you won’t forget is when Condors are flying above you! The landscape is breathtaking, and the whole day just felt magical. I would recommend you the 2 days trekking is a really good experience full of awesome views!
