About this activity
DAY 1 : Arequipa to Yanque (Colca Canyon) - Shared
In the morning, we will meet you at your hotel and taken on a stunning four hour remarkable journey to Yanque. Make sure to have your camera ready as you will stop at some stunning viewpoints including the Pampa Cañahuas Reserve. The reserve is home to many exotic Andean animals including vicuñas, alpacas, llamas, flamingos, ibis and the Andean eagle.
You will see astounding landscapes as you drive past lakes, glaciers and some magnificent volcanoes, such as Ampato, Sabancaya, Huallca and Misti.
We will reach our journey’s highest point of 4800m (15,000ft), before heading down the canyon to Yanque where we will take you to your hotel.
In the afternoon, you will have a number of options to spend time at leisure. Enjoy the hot thermal springs of Yanque, go on a short trek or relax in your hotel while taking in the incredible view of the beginning of the canyon and its terraces.
DAY 2 : Colca Canyon Tour and Tourist Coach to Lake Titicaca - Shared
You will be picked up from your hotel very early in the morning and taken to the most spectacular places of the Colca Canyon.
Our picturesque journey leads us to the Mirador Cruz del Condor, the most famous viewing point for looking into the depths of the Colca Canyon. Here, the canyon is around 1200m deep, and you will have good chance of luck to see a few condors flying, with the amazing canyon scenery in the background.
You will then continue on to Chivay. From here you will take the comfortable tourist coach to Lake Titicaca, the birthplace of the first Inca, Manco Capac.
Along the way, you will be able to appreciate the scenic beauty of the Andes as you pass by lakes, lagoons, trout farms and Andean flamingos.
When we reach the altitude of 4850m (12,000ft), you will have an unbelievable view of the highlands.
Upon arrival into Puno, a private driver will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel.

We took this trip in May 2018. It was an amazing tour. Very well organized from hotel pickups to drop offs. Our guide was very well informed on all the places we visited. It was a small bus tour group with about 15 people. The entire Colca Canyon region is very scenic. We visited all the places that were promised in the tour. Overall a very pleasant experience. I would highly recommend it.
We were picked up from our hotel by Carlos who was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. The Colca lodge is not the top luxury resort it claims to be, be careful. We had an extra day at Colca lodge to recuperate from the long trip. We saw the condors, the trip to Puno is long !
Great trip blessed with the most beautiful sunset with smoking volcanoe as well. Loved it!
The tour was amazing, the guide and the driver are really kind, helpful and did try their best to make the trip as comfortable and as enjoyable as they could. I'm not rating 5 starts because we had some issues regarding our embarking on the bus which was a bit stressful. Our guide stayed with us until the issues were resolved, still I was expecting a smooth, problem-free tour. I still recommend this tour to anyone who's spending some time in this amazing country.
