After seeing all of the great reviews of Carlitos Tours, my wife and I took a 3-day trek in the Colca Canyon with them. They lived up to all of the praise they got and I would fully recommend them for almost anyone wishing to visit the canyon since they try to understand your interests and plan the activities in...

The trek that I did with Carlitos Tours was brilliant from start to finish. Carlitos went out of his way to meet up with me to talk about the possible options. I opted for a 2 days 1 night short trek which was perfect for someone with weak ankles and knees. Hubert my own personal guide was fantastic - very... More

We opted to go with Carlito´s tours having read through Trip Advisor and also after being put off a little from all the tour agencies in the main square and WOW were we glad we did! Carlito is extremely friendly and will go out of his way to meet up with you to discuss the tour options, explain the trip... More

we had a wonderful trip to Peru and our highlight was the time we spent with Carlitos in the Colca Canyon. We took the 3 days/2 nights tour. First the Canyon is just beautiful and I think a must do in Peru. Carlitos was super organized, very passionate about his culture and showing you as much as he can and... More

I appreciated the high level of organization and excellent communication we had with Carlitos prior to our trek. We were also able to start from Chivay, when most of these tours begin in Arequipa. The trek itself was spectacular and the Oasis was superb. I only wish we had been able to stay longer. Back in Arequipa, Carlitos gave us... More

I went on the 3 days/2 nights tour from Arequipa, and had a really nice trip! First day we started from Cabandaconde walking down the Colca Canyon, having a great view over the valley and talking with our guide the whole time. Carlitos really knew a lot about the area, the history and the different kind of plants that we... More

Fairest, most fun and informative tour operator I've used in South America! Offered a spot on guide of Colca Canyon and great information on discovering the local hotspots of Arequipa, of which there are plenty. Best of all, its headed up by a great guy who will go out his way to help way beyond his duties as a tour... More
