Overview

  • This is a fully private Colca Valley tour: your family or group travels alone in an exclusive minivan with an official MINCETUR-licensed local guide and a separate professional driver, so the day runs at your pace rather than a coach timetable. Because the group is only yours, the guide can adjust the stops to the weather and the light, and you get real time at the Cruz del Condor viewpoint instead of a fixed slot. Buffet breakfast and lunch, the Colca Valley tourist ticket and a free welcome transfer to your hotel in Arequipa are all included in the price.
