Day 01: Arequipa - Chivay
07:30am to 08:00am - Pick up from hotels in city centre Arequipa.
We will leave the city behind to enter the Colca Valley. For three hours, we will cross the National Reserve of Salinas and Aguada Blanca and make a stop at the viewpoint of Patapampa, at 4830 metres above sea level!
Between lagoons and wetlands, we will arrive at our first destination: Chivay. This traditional village will welcome us at 3600 metres above sea level. And in the afternoon, with our strength restored, we will visit the thermal baths of La Calera. You will be able to immerse yourself in its waters and enjoy its medicinal properties.
We will return to Chivay and there we will have the opportunity to live an evening in the purest Colca Valley style. A dinner with dances? While tasting the local flavours, we will witness a show of typical dances, the best way to end the day!
Day 2: Chivay - Maca - Yanque - Arequipa
After breakfast we will move to the Mirador de la Cruz del Condor, which is 30 minutes away, is the observation point of the Colca Canyon and the spectacular flight of the Condor. At this point we will be an average of 45 minutes to observe the beauty of the Colca Canyon.
On the way back we will stop at the viewpoints of the area from where we will observe the impressive Andenería of the Valley and in the town of Maca, where we will see its church and optional tasting of drinks in the area as the Colca Sour, made from local products.
We will return to Chivay to have lunch on your own and we will say goodbye to the city to start our way back to Arequipa. There the tour will end around 17:00 hours.
