Fun bike ride through Arequipa. Our ride was about 30 km and 400 m ascent/descent. It is a great way to see another side of the city and the farm lands around it. Dont be scared of the traffic, we all felt very safe riding with Raul

Really nice Tour! A lot of fun :-) I would definitely recommend it. Raul is a friendly and cool guide and shows a lot of spots in Arequipa which tourists normally don’t see.

Definitely a recommended activity if you want to see a different part of arequipa's country side, plenty of stops along the way a few ups and downs and plenty of time to have a good chat and meet new people. Bikes were good for the ride The guide was good and very professional with good communication skills. Having a bit of fitness will make the ride even more enjoyable

It was a very varied bike tour with a beautiful view of the volcanoes. The guide was also great and gave me lots of information about Arequipa. Please note! Not suitable for non-athletic people. Sunscreen and water are also a must. I can recommend the tour.

We had a fantastic 2 day tour into Colco Canyon with our local guide Hans (don't let the name fool you, he is Peruvian). Everything was taken care of, with the only extra cost being entry to the thermal springs after the hike, which we were aware of before booking. Hans was very relaxed on the walk, going at our pace and giving us plenty of breaks along the way. He also took the time to explain to us the area, the plants and animals we came across and how the local people lived. He was genuinely interested in maximising our experience rather than just simply trying to finish as quickly as possible. All supplied meals were tasty and plentiful, we didn't feel hungry at any point and the overnight lodge was basic but clean and comfortable, with a swimming pool (if it is warm enough) and drinks and snacks for sale (dinner included). Ultimately it was an amazing experience and we would happily recommend this tour to anyone looking to hike through Colca Canyon

We went on this trip not yet knowing what to expect, what this trip was amazing! Raoul is the best guide and he make you feel like real family. This trip went so much further than a regular trail. We created real friendship bonds and learned from each other’s cultures while experiencing beautiful nature. I will miss this experience so much and I recommend everybody to book a trail with ventura travel. Driver and families down the canyon were amazing. Please if you want to trek down the canyon instead 3am book your trip here they start at 7 am! Or else it won’t be the same. Amazing experience!

Had an amazing time trekking through the canyon. Tiring but very rewarding and would definitely do it again!!! Very easy to work with the guides and such amazing people!

My friend and I have just returned from the colca 3D/2N trek with ventura travel. Really can't fault the tour in any way; it has so far been the highlight of our Peru trip, and surpassed all expectations we had. We booked in advance a trip from Arequipa to The Colca Canyon, the trekking was amazing, The views along the route are incredible, we saw a Condor too! The tour took us to Puno. which was just what we wanted. As a company, ventura travel were very well organised, and provided an excellent service. The briefing with raoul the evening before the first day clarified the schedule and requirements of the trip. Everything happened on time, and we were always clear on what was going on, in a way we haven't come across since with other tour companies. Our guide, was superb. Spoke great English, was really knowledgeable, Overall, incredible experience, made all the better by ventura travel. Would recommend for anyone.

My friends and I traveled for more than a year, after doing many tours throughout our trip. Our last stop was in Arequipa. We were looking to go to the Colca Canyon, but we did not like the departure times at 3 am. We wanted something different, and we finally found this company that leaves at 7 am to go to the Canyon. We think it is the only agency that has a departure at that time in Arequipa. The price was really very high for our budget, but since it was our last adventure, we bought it. Very good experience from the beginning to the end. Our guide Remy was very attentive and knew very well about the nature. Our first night we stayed in a small loca family we were surprised by how everything was organized. Good food, the room was very clean with private bathroom. The second day was long, but very relaxing. We visited an oasis with a pool and in the afternoon we went up to the Canyon and spent the night in a hostal in cabanaconde with a very comfortable private bathroom. Our third day calmer, very early already in our private transport. We visited the viewpoint of condors and the guide was very flexible with the stops, then we visited the town of Chivay, the hot springs and our end was a lunch buffet. We left very satisfied and we could sleep on the bus on our way back to Arequipa. Thanks Ventura Travel, we feel happy about everything and the flexibility. The groups of this company are small and everything was included. Highly recommended.

We decided to take the 3 days tour since we wanted to enjoyed and take it easy. It was worth every penny! Raul was easy to contact and very clear in the communication, we were a group of 3 and Christian, our guide, took care of us beyond I expected but making it fun and adventurous. We did amazing hikings combined with lovelies baths at the Oasis and the thermal pools. And we saw many condors! The food was excellent all the time and the driver was really professional. Thanks guys for this great time!

We did the 3 day Colca Canyon hike. Raul came to our hotel the day before to explain the itinerary to us and advise us on what to pack, which we really appreciated. The next day we were picked up from our hotel by our driver Armando and our guide Christian. Both were great. Christian was amazing - he knew everything about the local area, let us set the pace for the hiking, and was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. The trek itself was great, the scenery was beautiful, the accommodation and food were really good, and we enjoyed the chance to relax in the pool at the bottom of the canyon and the next day in the hot springs. Would really highly recommend!

Some dude called us up 9am the day before our $700 3 day trip to Colca Canyon to inform us, that because trip advisor doesn’t pay them quickly enough (viator), they would be cancelling on us. This guys called directly to our hotel room and very creepily said that he would just in a cab that moment because he had to speak with us in person about something secret?! What?!? After pushing him on this a bit, he finally admitted that he had already cancelled our trip, and wanted to tell us is person... to soften the blow? Crazy. Stay away from these criminals. They ruined our time in Arequipa.

We did our trek with Christian and it was a wonderful experience. We learned a lot about the canyon, the inhabitants and the Peruvian culture in general. The trek is not too hard (18 km, the hardest part is the last day). We had time to relax and enjoy the swimming pool at the oasis and the view (and the hot spring last day). The trek is expensive but worth it. We were only the two of us so we could choose the rythme of the journey. We had a nice driver and a kind guide. We did not pay anything more except the drinks (water and others if wanted). It was all inclusive. Nice experience for us ! You should do it ! Anne and Andrea

It was very well organized and carried over tour. Our guide Remy was extremely friendly person with wonderful attitude to kids and very wide knowledge about the canyon but also broad knowledge about Inca and Quechua culture and heritage. It was really amazing time in real nature, the accomodation was really nice and cosy, although basic. Our children rated this trip highest among all trips and tours done during our almost 4 weeks round tour in Peru and Bolivia so you must have made really good impression on them :) Well done. Thank you very much Remy again for wonderful experience of Peru and Colca canyon !!!!

This is a fantastic trip highly recommended, our guide Christian was excellent ensuring that everything was well organised and that we could trek comfortably at our own pace. We had a great time , thanks again Christian.
