2-Day Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa

The guide will collect you at 6:00-6:30 in the morning with our private van, which will take us to Pampa San Miguel, where we begin our descent into the canyon. After about 4 hours of trekking we will arrive to the first community, San Juan de Chuccho(2350 m.s.n.m), where we will see theColca river and take a rest. Here we have lunch. We then continue for one more hour to another community named Cosñirhua(2550 m.s.n.m.). and after another rest we continue our trek for 20 minutes to the next community, Malata (2550 m.s.n.m). Along the way the guide will explain about life in these communities and about the flora and fauna we will see.

We then continue walking for 1½ hours until we arrive at an oasis named Sangalle 2160 m.s.n.m). We spend the night here in the oasis lodge, giving you the chance to relax in the oasis and enjoy the beautiful surrounding.

After waking up very early in the morning we will begin our ascent at 4:00 or 4:30 towards the town of Cabanconde, this will take us about 3 hours, depending on the speed of the group. We will arrive at about 7:00 in the morning and have breakfast. We will then take our van over to la Cruz Del Condor, where we will stay for around an hour, giving you a chance to see the condors and have an excellent view of the canyon.

Following the Cruz Del Condor we head to Chivay, the capital of the province and then onto the hot springs of la Calera (35 ºC), very recommendable after a long trek! We then return to Chivay to have lunch before taking our van back to Arequipa, arriving around 6:00 in the evening. The van can drop you off back at your hotel.
