Colca Canyon Trek Tours
Enjoy the marvels of the Colca Canyon, the second deepest canyon on Earth, with its sweeping vistas surrounded by volcanic peaks. On this tranquil 3-day trek, you will observe majestic Andean condors, wild vicuñas, alpacas, llamas, and sheep; cross fields cultivated with ancient Andean grains like quinoa and qiwicha; and spend time in Andean communities enjoying homestays with local families. Gaze upon pre-Inca terracing, feats of agricultural engineering that were created centuries ago and are still in use today. Enjoy a relaxing float in warm springs and hot springs at Sangalle and La Calera. All in all, this is a trip that provides natural, cultural, and scenic beauty that will delight body, mind, and spirit.

Shared plan: You will travel with other adventurers heading to the same destination.
Day 1: Arequipa – Pampa San Miguel – San Juan de Chuccho
Leave Arequipa for the canyon rim at Pampa San Miguel — condors if the air is with us, vicuñas on the grass. Then the descent to San Juan de Chuccho and a night with a family, not a lodge circuit.
Day 2: Chuccho – Sangalle (Oasis)
Down-canyon to Sangalle, the oasis at the floor. Warm water, shade, and a slower afternoon after the walk. The springs here are for the body after the stone.
Day 3: Oasis – Cabanaconde – Chivay – Arequipa
The climb out to Cabanaconde, then Chivay and La Calera’s hot springs before the road home to Arequipa. Terraces still in work, grain fields, and a last look at the volcanoes.
