Colca Canyon 2-Day Tour to Puno, Easy Pace with Hot Springs
From €66 per person
See availability →This Colca Canyon 2-day tour to Puno skips the return to Arequipa: wildlife stops, a night in Chivay, the Cruz del Condor viewpoint and a guided transfer to Lake Titicaca.
On a Colca Canyon 2-day tour to Puno you see the canyon without doubling back to Arequipa. It is a relaxed trip with little walking: the guide collects you from hotels in the centre of Arequipa and sets a gentle pace, with Chivay as your base for the night.
The first day follows the road through the Salinas reserve. You pass Pampa Cañahuas to look for vicuñas, stop at Patahuasi for traditional tea, and see alpacas grazing freely at the Toccra wetlands. The road peaks at the Mirador de los Volcanes, 4,800 m above sea level, with a wide view of the western mountain range before the descent to Chivay. In the afternoon you can soak in the thermal pools, between 35 and 38 degrees, and an evening folklore show with traditional dances is offered for an extra payment.
On day two the guide takes you to the Cruz del Cóndor for the flight of the condors, with about 45 minutes at the viewpoint. On the way back you stop at lookouts over the terraced valley and in Maca, with its church and, if you like, a Colca Sour.
