Colca Canyon to Puno: 2-Day Tour with Lake Titicaca
From €96 per person
See availability →Colca Canyon to Puno in two days: Andean wildlife, volcano views, condors at Cruz del Condor and a tourist coach to Lake Titicaca, starting from Arequipa.
Colca Canyon to Puno is a two-day tour that ends in Puno rather than back in Arequipa, so it doubles as your transfer between the two cities. An English-speaking guide and a professional driver go with you.
On day one you are collected at your hotel and drive about four hours to Chivay, stopping at viewpoints along the way, including the Pampa Cañahuas reserve, home to vicuñas, alpacas, llamas, flamingos and Andean eagles. Lakes, glaciers and volcanoes such as Ampato, Sabancaya, Hualca Hualca and Misti line the road, which tops out at 4,800 metres. The afternoon is free to spend as you like, and you sleep in Chivay.
On day two you head out early to the Mirador Cruz del Condor, the best-known lookout into the canyon, which is around 1,200 metres deep here and where you have a good chance of seeing condors. From Chivay a comfortable tourist coach continues to Lake Titicaca, where the first Inca, Manco Capac, is said to have been born. On the way come lagoons, trout farms and flamingos, plus a highland panorama at 4,850 metres, before Puno.
