“Amazing trek! The guide Rafael made sure we got the full Colca canyon experience. It wasn't just the views, but his explanations of the culture, pointing out the various fruits and plants, and making sure we get around to see the different sites (including some animals and a volcano). Highly recommend!”

“We had a great experience with Peru Baby Llama! I received a long detailed message prior detailing what to expect and this was again reviewed with the entire group once we started. It is indeed a LONG day, Walter was our tour guide and he was kind, transparent, funny and extremely knowledgeable. Due to the travel time from Arequipa (3 hours each way) and a short time frame during which the condors take flight (and then may not fly at all), things move very quickly throughout the day. It’s a lot of stop and go, but we did have a 40 minute hike through the canyon up to the look…”

Trek Colca Canyon in 3 days, with early starts, condors at Cruz del Condor, oasis swimming in Sangalle, and a full return to Arequipa.
“Absolutely beautiful scenery and well put together itinery. We were very fortunate that we arrived at a time when there were multiple condors to be seen from the view point - fantastic. The hiking was quite energetic - I was VERY glad I opted to take the 3 rather than 2 day option. The food at the 1st nights accomodation was surprisingly good. The room with ensuite basic but fine. The 2nd night we (couple) had a large room that could have slept 4 but it was definitely no frills. All quite acceptable if you are used to staying in basic hostels. However the pool at the second nights accom…”

Totally recommend it, thank you for the awesome afternoon!”

“What a GREAT 2 days! Roy was a great guide giving us lots of interesting facts and stories about the Colca Valley (One of the best guides I’ve ever had on any tour). Our driver Edgar was also great driving us safely all around the colca valley and to Puno! The scenery is spectacular and you stop at many viewpoints to take in the breath taking views! I would also advise opting for the evening meal and entertainment we had great fun there and enables you to get a good understanding of the Peruvian Culture in the Colca Valley! I very much recommend this tour as a great experience to…”
2-day Colca Canyon trek from Arequipa with pre-dawn pickup, condor flights at Cruz del Cóndor, Sangalle oasis night, and Chacapi hot springs.
“The transport from the hotel to the canyon, and from the canyon to Chivay was well organised. Everything went well. Our guide, Luigi Ormachea, was great. He explained many details about the Canyon, historical and cultural facts, and he was very helpful when group members had problems, e.g. with their shoes. Also, he gave the group a lot of motivation throughout the whole trip (which is exhausting in some parts) and used his humour to make everyone feel good, while at the same time pushing the group to reach the bottom of the canyon on time. The hike has definitely been an adventure and I can highly recommend Luigi as…”
