7:00 a.m.Pickup from hotels near the historic center of Arequipa. (Depending on the reservation, it could be earlier or later to make the tour more enjoyable). 3-hour trip. On the way, we'll stop to check out part of the Salinas National Reserve, where you can spot camelids like alpacas, vicuñas, and llamas.

Then, we'll stop at Patapampa, a viewpoint overlooking the volcanoes.

Then, we'll pass through Chivay and head straight to the main spot: the Mirador de la Cruz del Cóndor, where you can check out the condor's flight and the amazing depth of the Colca Canyon. The best part of this visit is that we can explore this place without a lot of people, which is a big difference from our previous visits.
Then, head back to make some quick stops at the viewpoint of the natural terraces and check out traditional villages like Maca. Then, keep going and stop in Chivay for lunch. You can enjoy a traditional buffet lunch or other options in the village of Chivay. You can also check out the Colca hot springs if you want. Finally, head back to Arequipa or, if you've got other plans, you can hang out in Chivay on your own. Arrival in Arequipa around 7:00 PM. At the end of the tour, we'll take you back to your hotel.
