Let's go on an adventure! We'll leave Arequipa behind at 7:30 am and head to Chivay. On the way there, we'll skirt the Chachani Volcano and stop for about 15 minutes at the Salinas y Aguada Blanca National Reserve. Here, we'll spot some vicuñas in their natural habitat and admire the rock formations of the Andean community of Pata Wasi.
We’ll have some coca tea before arriving at the Mirador de los Volcanes, where, at an altitude of 4,800 meters (15,748 ft), we’ll enjoy the best views of the Colca Valley. Once in Chivay, we’ll visit the main square, where you’ll have free time to have lunch on your own.
In the afternoon, we’ll head to the Chivay hot springs, where you can relax in the waters and enjoy their medicinal properties. At the end of the visit, we’ll wrap up our first day and spend the night in Chivay.
Good morning! We'll have breakfast at 5:30 am and head to Colca Canyon, which is one of the deepest canyons in the world. While we're here, we'll gaze out at breathtaking views of the Cruz del Condor Viewpoint.
As we head into the Colca Valley, we'll visit the villages of Pinchollo, Maca and Yanque. Here, we'll discover colonial churches and viewpoints that'll offer us spectacular views of this Andean valley.
We'll head back to Chivay at noon, and you'll have the rest of the afternoon free to explore the town.
After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll head to the village of Coporaque for an immersive experience with a local family. We’ll join the village farmers to spend the morning with them and help with their daily tasks depending on the time of year: planting, harvesting, or preparing the land for cultivation. And all of this while surrounded by breathtaking views of the valley!
We’ll finally return to Chivay to pick up our luggage and, from there, begin the return trip to Arequipa, where the tour will conclude at 5 pm.
The tour includes 2 nights' lodging in Chivay at the Colca Llaqta Hotel, Casa Andina Standard, or a similar property.
Admission to the La Calera Hot Springs isn't included. If you'd like to relax in the water here, you'll need to pay 15 Peruvian soles per person (around 4 euros).
The price of the cultural immersion in Coporaque isn't included either. On the day of the activity, you'll need to pay your host family 90 Peruvian soles per person (around 25 euros).
This activity includes pickup from hotels in Arequipa. If you aren't staying in the area around the Plaza de Armas in Arequipa, you'll need to head there for the scheduled time.
