This Colca Canyon Full Day excursion is one of the major experiences to enjoy from Arequipa. The departure is very early towards Chivay, the main town of the valley, crossing powerful Andean landscapes, high plateaus and the Pampas Cañahuas area. After breakfast, the road reaches Cruz del Cóndor, the highlight of the day, where travellers hope to see Andean condors soaring above the canyon.

The return to Chivay includes several panoramic stops: Pinchollo and the Wayrapunco viewpoint, the Antahuilque viewpoint with its amphitheatre terraces, the village of Maca and, optionally, Yanque and its beautiful colonial church. Colca is not just a huge landscape: it is an encounter with altitude, local culture and Andean light.
