This Colca Canyon Full Day Trip from Arequipa is a long, intense and highly photogenic excursion. The canyon, one of the deepest in the world (about 3270 m), forms a colourful Andean valley with pre-Inca roots, still inhabited by the Collagua and Cabana cultures, who maintain their traditions and cultivate ancestral agricultural terraces.

Departure is usually very early to reach the best viewpoints at the right time, especially Cruz del Cóndor, famous for Andean condor observation. The road crosses high-altitude landscapes, traditional villages and volcanic areas. The 15-hour format is demanding, but it lets you experience the essentials of Colca in a single day.
