  • We will pick you up from your hotel between 3:00 and 3:30 a.m. and drive to Chivay. After the three-hour journey, we will stop first at Mirador de los Volcanes, the route’s highest point at 4,910 meters above sea level. From here, you can admire the Ampato, Sabancaya, and Hualca Hualca volcanoes.

    Then we return to the vehicle to continue the journey to the breakfast place. The visit will continue to the Town of Maca, where we will stop to appreciate the Colonial Church of Santa Ana, recognized for its beautiful work of sculptures carved in ashlar stone.
    Ready everyone, we will begin the trip to the inter-Andean Colca Valley, where majestic landscapes await us, and of course the stops at the viewpoints of Wayra Punku, Antahuilque and the Mirador Cruz del Condor.

    The latter is located at the foot of the canyon, which will allow you to appreciate, if you are lucky, the flight of the Andean condor. Here we will have free time to take photographs and take as many videos as possible. At the following stops we will be able to see artisans offering their beautiful handmade souvenirs, we will even have an additional stop, being able to try the famous Pisco Sour of Sancayo.
