The worlds deepest canyon is one of peru's must see attraction. I did a 2 day tour as it takes 4-5 hours to reach the Colca valley from Arequipa. The drive there is nothing short of spectacular with the road reaching a maximum altitude of almost 5000m...expect a dull headache! The valley and canyon itself are so beautiful. We saw numerous condors on our visit.

Guillermo and Eduardo at Naturaleza Activa in Arequipa can set up a custom trip just for you and your needs. Don't be herded with the other tourists, go with a small group and with experienced guides that will help you avoid the tourist pitfalls along the way. Eduardo and Guillermo can converse freely in English and have many many years of experience in Colca Canyon and all over Southern Peru. Lastly, feel good about going with Naturaleza and supporting sustainable tourism in Peru.

A unique place to enjoy the nature and also to descover the culture of the different villages around it.

Having gone all the way to Peru, I'm glad we visited Colca canyon. Arequipa is a lovely city, and our favorite in Peru! Colca canyon itself is lovely, though we didn't go to the deepest part. We saw many condors in flight. We also enjoyed our hike along the colca.
