★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 146 reviews · 15 hours · from $27

Review of Arequipa’s Colca Canyon day tour: condors, Andean villages, hot springs, meals, costs, altitude tips, and practical advice.

“María was a great guide. She kept us informed and interested but didn’t inundate the group with too much information. It is a long day with an early start, and she expertly knew when the group needed some restful time. An amazing way to experience Colca Canyon without having to do the trek with the overnight stay. FYI bring small change to tip the alpaca owners for pictures - you will want to get a lot of them!”
