This 2-day Colca Canyon tour from Puno is a one-way journey, so you leave Lake Titicaca behind and finish in Arequipa. The first day heads for Chivay, stopping first at the Lagunillas viewpoint for a look at the highlands and a quiet lagoon.
The road then enters the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve, with vicuñas, llamas and alpacas grazing in the open, and climbs to Patapampa, at 4,900 metres the top of the whole itinerary, with a ridge of volcanoes in front. In Chivay you are taken to your hotel, with lunch as an option. The afternoon is for the La Calera hot springs, and an optional dinner comes with a show of traditional dances.
On the second day the tour calls at Maca and its colonial church, and at the Antahuilque viewpoint for pre-Inca terraces, before reaching Cruz del Cóndor to see Andean condors in flight. After an optional lunch in Chivay, the road continues to Arequipa.
- Collection from your Puno hotel, and a drop-off in central Arequipa
- Bilingual guide, in English and Spanish
The Chivay hotel must be booked separately, and you can add the canyon ticket, the hot spring entry and the meals while booking.
