About
The newest extreme adventure in the Colca Canyon is a must-do while visiting this natural wonder. Only 5 minutes away from Chivay, next to "La Calera" hot springs. A series of increasingly exciting rides can be combined with some rock climbing. Courses range between 2000 and 6500 feet at speeds of 50-70 MPH. All this in beautiful scenery, with breathtaking views and friendly company. Fun for all ages!

Dit was een superleuke activiteit met uitstekende begeleiding. In twee uur tijd vier verschillende trajecten afgelegd: twee voor beginners en twee voor gevorderden (Monster en Extreme). Behalve zip-linen moet je ook een stuk klimmen en dat maakte het extra uitdagend. De uitstekend Engels sprekende begeleiding zorgde ervoor dat alles veilig verliep en dat iedereen een leuke middag had. Dankjewel Nathan!
This was a super fun activity with excellent guidance. Completed four different routes in two hours: two for beginners and two for advanced riders (Monster and Extreme). Besides zip-lining you also have to climb a bit and that made it extra challenging. The excellent English speaking guidance ensured that everything went safely and that everyone had a nice afternoon. Thank you Nathan!

Fantastic experience. So much fun going down the 4 zip-lines. First you practice on the lower ones and then you go to the more extreme, but you do not have to go to the extreme if you do not want to. If you are i here and like to spend half a day with really fun thing, this is where you must go. The Instructors was extremely competent and the equipment was top brand.

We have done a lot of zip lines around the world, allegedly the fastest, steepest, and longest… This zip line in the Colca Canyon that Natan built and runs has got to be among the top five in the entire world…
There is height, speed, and incredibly beautiful views over the river in the canyon.
This is certainly a must do in the canyon. If you don’t like extreme zip lining, you can do the medium version as well, which is also exciting.

I highly recommend this activity! Natan and Zidane were both great guides and instructors! They made us feel safe and they were very friendly. All the equipments were in good conditions. They offer different tour for beginners and also for those who crave adrenaline. The views of the valleys from up the zipline is breathtaking.
I will definitely do it again, it was one of the highlight of my trip to Peru.

Something different from sightseeing. Fun.
Located about 3km upriver from Chivay. Go to the thermal baths (La Calera) and go on about 300m. The road becomes a small track just after the baths. You come to a bend with a tree lined drive rising up in front of you and a very very small wooden sign saying hipline. Go up it. If you miss it you can keep going and as you come up the hill it is on the right. A collection of buildings that look like a camp.
There are 3 zips. S./50 for a simple cross the canyon and back (2 rides), S./100 for the simple plus 2 longer rides, and S./150 for 2 higher rides plus the previous 4. The high level requires you to climb up the side of the canyon finishing with 2 ladders (you are roped on). We only had time for the simple which is good for smaller children and the less adventurous.
You have to walk a bit to each ride. The bigger the ride the more you have to walk but except for the cliff climb nothing hard. You are accompanied by staff and they will take smaller children. Safety seems good and the staff are well trained and friendly. Go in the morning because the wind picks up in the afternoon and brakes your ride. We just turned up at the end of the day but you probably should try to call to avoid queuing.

We went with our 5 year old and 7 year old, we weren't sure we were going to do it thinking it may be too much for our kids. But we felt very safe, the owners are very professional and made us and out kids feel really good about going ahead with it. We did the panoramic lines (i.e. not the fastest or the highest) and it was still so thrilling and fun, we all loved the experience so much. Highly recommended for all!

There were several nice zip lines here. Not too steep or fast but still fun. The lines were strong nd the crew ensured everyone was safe.

We had an amazing adventure today. Leandro and Joel, our instructors and guides, went above and beyond their role. They made us feel welcome since the beginning and ensured we had a great time. The scenery is fantastic. Their equipment is top notch and we felt safe at all times. We highly recommend it. A can’t miss adventure in the Colca Valley.

We had a great time with Colca Zip-Lining. They are a professional outfit with modern equipment and a safety first attitude. Excellent communication in advance, very good English spoken by the lead instructor, a good fun experience. I have an old back injury, and needed to ensure a smooth ride. They took my concerns seriously and I did a tandem ride with the instructor (no extra charge) who did all the braking for me. I did the ‘extreme’. My two teens also did the ‘monster’ with the instructor, which involved some ladders to climb the rock face but they tell me it was definitely worth it! We added an extra night on to our trip to the Colca Canyon specifically to do this zip lining, very pleased we did. Thoroughly recommend. Make sure to book with these guys, there are a few easily confused similarly named outfits nearby.

There's are quite a few companies leaving from Arequipa's Terminal Terrestre and the areas surrounding it. One of them is "Señor de los Milagros" (they have a 5:30am departure) There is one almost every hour with different bus companies. To return to Arequipa they also leave every hour, the latest being at 7:15pm.

Hello,
My group and I will be in Chivay mid-August 2016. We are so excited to go ziplining with your company.
What is the cost?
Also, are there time slots available? Or first come first serve? When is the last ride? We do not arrive until mid-afternoon.
Your response is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

You can look them on Facebook. I believe there is an email address or phone number. It s better to call and make a reservation if with a group.
They go from about 9-5:30 or so. Best to go in the mornings if you can due to wind and it getting dark.
There are 3 circuits. One has two lines, one with four, one with 6. If you choose the one with our or six the price includes a short training in how to brake, etc.
Prices are 50, 100, and 150 soles respectively depending on which course you do

They have 3 different circuits. The prices are as follows 50 soles for the first circuit, which is 2 jumps. 100 soles for 4 jumps which includes their extreme cable, which is the fastest one. And then there's Monster, which is a total of 6 jumps and this includes the longest and highest, along with the fastest one, 150 soles.
I went in the morning right around 10/10:15am and it was awesome.
