Colca Canyon to Puno Day Trip

Between 2:45 and 3:30 am, pickup from your hotel in Arequipa will occur, followed by a three-hour bus ride to Chivay, located at over 3000 meters (9800 feet) above sea level. A breakfast of bread with butter and jam, along with juice and coffee or tea, will be provided.

The first stop will be at the Cruz del Condor lookout point for views of the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons globally, where you may also spot condors.
