Overview
We are the only adventure compàny who start this this colca canyon experience at 7 am from arequipa. Go on tour with the only operator in Arequipa Peru, which does adventure trekking tours leaving Arequipa at 7 am. As the 2-day trekking experience is in a small group with a maximum of 5 people the tour will be very flexible. It allows you to determine the speed during the hike or you can take some great pictures wherever you want. The service is also a superior one, as it is a customised tour and not in a big backpackergroup. For those with less hiking experience, you could take another route to descend into the canyon. The hike is a bit steeper, but it is a shorter route. You may hike directly to the oasis where you can spend the afternoon relaxing at the swimming pool.

Itinerary
The guide will collect you at 6:00-6:30 in the morning with our private van, which will take us to Pampa San Miguel, where we begin our descent into the canyon. After about 4 hours of trekking we will arrive to the first community, San Juan de Chuccho(2350 m.s.n.m), where we will see theColca river and take a rest. Here we have lunch. We then continue for one more hour to another community named Cosu00f1irhua(2550 m.s.n.m.). and after another rest we continue our trek for 20 minutes to the next community, Malata (2550 m.s.n.m). Along the way the guide will explain about life in these communities and about the flora and fauna we will see.
We then continue walking for 1u00bd hours until we arrive at an oasis named Sangalle 2160 m.s.n.m). We spend the night here in the oasis lodge, giving you the chance to relax in the oasis and enjoy the beautiful surrounding.
After waking up very early in the morning we will begin our ascent at 4:00 or 4:30 towards the town of Cabanconde, this will take us about 3 hours, depending on the speed of the group. We will arrive at about 7:00 in the morning and have breakfast. We will then take our van over to la Cruz Del Condor, where we will stay for around an hour, giving you a chance to see the condors and have an excellent view of the canyon.

Following the Cruz Del Condor we head to Chivay, the capital of the province and then onto the hot springs of la Calera (35 u00baC), very recommendable after a long trek! We then return to Chivay to have lunch before taking our van back to Arequipa, arriving around 6:00 in the evening. The van can drop you off back at your hotel.
