One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was booking this 3 day trek with Peru Breathtaking Trips. I’m always a little cautious when booking these sort of things myself, but when I met my guide Wilmar I knew I had nothing to worry about. The entire trip was well planned; his experience in trekking, guiding tours, and impressive knowledge of the area really made the experience more worthwhile. He easily assessed how to pace out our trekking based on my abilities and was very helpful and encouraging when I struggled with a bout of altitude sickness, which I think was the only negative to this entire trip.
The food I got to try and people I met hosting the lodges and throughout the villages/communities were all amazing and I’ll never forget the kindness and generosity I was shown. I highly recommend this agency and trekking trip if you’re adventuring in Peru!

I had an amazing time hiking Colca Canyon for 3 days. The views were breathtaking, hiking was fun & challenging, food was delicious, and my guide Wilmar was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend! If you have the time, 3 days felt like a good amount of time and you have more time to enjoy afternoons in the canyon. 2 days is quick but efficient if you are on a tight schedule. On a more serious note it can sometimes be stressful as a solo lady traveler and Wilmar made me feel very safe and was nothing but professional.

We were picked up by our guide Wilma from Puno and travelled by mini-van to the Colca Canyon for a private tour for a couple of days. There were 3 of us in the group, and we had just finished the 4 day Inca trail a couple of days before, and now continued to embark on the southern part of our travels in Peru.
(For those travelling from Puno to Arequipa who want a more flexible schedule than the bus services offered, hiring a car service as part of the package as we had could be a good option, especially if there are a few in the group to split the expense.)
Along our 5-6 hour journey, Wilma regaled us with interesting historical and cultural anecdotes about the people, and the flora and fauna from every region. We immediately appreciated his English proficiency as we learned that he spent several years at a university in Arequipa to earn his tourism degree, which made interacting with him a pleasure.
After a night’s rest at our Hotel (Colca Lodge), we were picked up the next morning and driven to see the condors, at La Cruz del Condor. Fortunately, we were blessed with the ideal condor gliding weather, as we were able to see 3 or 4 condors in a matter of less than an hour, and some flew within several feet of us. After lunch and returning to the hotel, we went on a light guided hike to Yanque. As we were still suffering from the effects of the strenuous Inca trail, Wilma was very accommodating and understanding during our hike as we definitely took less than a thunderous pace!
The next day, we headed back to Arequipa, and en route we dropped into Chivay for a quick visit to the main square and the market.
Even though we only had a couple of days at the Canyon, with the help of Wilma, we were able to soak in some of the culture and marvel at the unending stunning vistas. Certainly, our time was much enriched by our humorous and affable guide, who was always quick with a smile or story. Spending time interacting with him at our lunches and bus rides became as much of a highlight as any other sites on the trip!
So, without hesitation, I highly recommend Wilma and Peru Breath taking Tours to anyone planning a trip to Peru.
Buen Viaje!

We came across Peru Breathtaking Trips when frantically searching for a transfer between Arequipa and Yanque after I discovered that car rentals were all closed when we would be returning to Arequipa. So a week before we were heading to Peru we got in contact with a couple of companies. Wilmar was fast to respond and extremely helpful in setting something up. Not only were we able to arrange transportation with him, but we also put together a 3 day tour of the region. It included a lot of the standards, Vicuna spotting, Colca Canyon, etc, but as a private tour we were able to get a lot more out of each of the experiences. Wilmar was also very impressively versed in the area and was able to give us so much interesting information as we went along. My only regret is that we didn't speak Spanish so we weren't able to communicate as much as I would have liked with our driver. However, Wilmar's English was great. It was a great trip.

Myself and my wife have done 1 full day trip to Colca Canyon, in a few words I can just saw that It was such an amazing experience, Wilmar guide us in this trip, we had a lot of fun.. I strongly recommend you to pick him on your visit do Colca Canyon. It was a shame because we didn't have time to do 2 or 3 days visit, but overall we could cover that, we so glad to have spent our time in Arequipa.

Wilmar was fantastic! He was responsive when booking and extremely knowledgeable on the trail answering our many questions. The trek was wonderfully arranged with great accommodations and food. You can't beat the views on this three day adventure. Would recommend!

My wife and I spent 3 lovely days with Wilmar who evaluated our abilities and tweaked the trip to suit us. Wilmar is a very competent and likeable guide and organizer who is both entertaining and knowledgeable. We had a great trip and highly recommend booking treks with Peru Breathtaking Trips.

I can't say enough about this 3 day trip to Colca Canyon to see the headwaters of the mighty Amazon River at 16,877' on Nevado Mismi with Wilmar Dias and our driver Hermano.
Wil patiently answered our hundreds of questions and Hermano heroically drove us through all the rough dirt roads. I'm so pleased I chose Peru Breathtaking Trips as we traveled places in the 4x4 that the big tour buses never go. The family stay in Sibayo was delightful, with gracious hosts and great meals, we learned a lot about the local culture as well as the Inca culture.

we booked the private tour, with the Peru Breathtaking, a 3 days 2 nights trip from Arequipa to the Colca Canyon region :-) before the trip my wife looked up the info via Trip Advisor, ran info this Tour Agent, I was a bit doubtful if it's reliable to find a good operator via on-line ? her decision finally !!! the trip turned out to be a very memorable one :-) Wilmar, the guide, was nice, very R eliable, knowledge ! he is a young, yet mature man who know how to take care his customer ^_^ one thing we appreciate is that he won't "overdone" when he was trying to "brief" us the tourist attraction information, yet, when we found it interesting to inquire more in-depth, he was enthusiastic to tell us more, we learned a lot from him about the incan culture, the peruvian way of life ! on our way from Arequipa to Colca (1st day), the driver Huber, took a alternate road that was bumpy (roads condition), but we found it worthwhile as Wilmar took us to a mountain outlook, a easy hike, to see an ancient Incan cave, where we saw a lot of ancient walls paintings, in hindsight, we didn't believe the site, with such high value anthropologically, is so easily accessible without anyone to man it, not to mention any proper signage or entrance -.- Wilmar told us that he didn't bring every visitor here , it depends on the weather, the way he budget the time, we didn't ask him the details of his itinerary logistic behind, but we feel really thankful that we were there :-) the driver Huber, can't speak English, but he is a lovely young man too !

We did a 3 day tour of the Colca Canyon. The guide Wilmer has an encyclopaedic knowledge of history and flora and fauna of the area. Very easy going and a well paced tour. Time spent admiring the view and the fauna was a real treat. The driver was very safe and the car new and clean. Would highly recommend.
