Reception at the airport or bus station of Arequipa and transfer to your hotel. In the afternoon we start to our guided city tour in which we will visit the Main Square, the Cathedral, La Compañia and San Francisco churches, Municipal Museum and Santa Catalina Convent.

After the breakfast we leave Arequipa towards Chivay in the Colca Canyon. On the way we pass through the national reserve Pampa Cañahuas where we hopefully can see wild vicuñas, llamas and alpacas. From the viewpoint of Patapampa we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the snow covered mountains and nearby volcanoes. We will have lunch in the town of Chivay and after that you can visit the hot springs and pools (entrance fee not included). We spend the night in a hotel in the Colca Valley.

Early in the morning we leave for an excursion in the Colca Canyon. On the way we visit beautiful typical towns like Yanque or Maca. We see colonial churches, gently people with typical needlework dresses and hundreds of pre Inca terraces with Andean growings. On the "cross of the condor" (Cruz del Condor) viewpoint we look out for condors and if we are lucky we will see the flight of this majestic bird. Back in Chivay we have lunch and return to Arequipa where we will arrive in the late afternoon.

Transfer to the airport or bus station for your travel to your next destination or flight back home.
