Arequipa - Chivay - Baños Termales

We begin the tour by picking you up from your hotel in Arequipa at 8:00 AM to board the transportation that will take us to the town of Chivay. Along the way, we will make several stops to appreciate and photograph points of interest, such as Pampa Cañahuas, Patahuasi, Taqora, and Patapampa—vast landscapes featuring unique rock formations, lagoons, snow-capped peaks, and typical high-Andean flora and fauna.

We will arrive in Chivay at approximately noon and head to the reserved hostel to check in and have lunch. In the afternoon, we will visit the La Calera thermal-medicinal baths and explore a small museum located right next to the hot springs, where we will enjoy a folklore show. In the evening, you will have dinner on your own before spending the night.

We will start our day very early; at 5:30 AM, after breakfast, we will head toward the Cruz del Cóndor Viewpoint. Along the way, our first stop will be the village of Yanque, where we can appreciate traditional dances and its colonial church with its beautiful carved portals.

At approximately 8:00 AM, we will arrive at Cruz del Cóndor, where we can witness the flight of the Andean condors—immense birds that are unfortunately endangered. You will also enjoy spectacular views of the canyon's depth. Additionally, there is an optional 40-minute hike along the canyon rim for those seeking a bit more adventure.

On our return route to Chivay, we will stop at the Antahuilque viewpoint to take breathtaking photos of the entire Colca Canyon. We will then visit the Choquetico tombs to contemplate their archaeological remains—holes excavated into the cliffs of Cerro Cabanaconde. Finally, we will visit the town of Maca and its "Mestizo Baroque" style church.

We will arrive back in Chivay for lunch before beginning our return journey to Arequipa, arriving at approximately 5:30 PM.

  Recommendations

Be respectful of local customs and traditions. Always ask for permission before taking photographs of people or their homes.

Carry some cash if you wish to purchase local handicrafts. The villages along the route are known for their exquisite craftsmanship, and it is a wonderful way to support the community.

Keep the contact information for your tour guide and the travel agency handy for any emergencies or additional coordination needs.

Consider bringing your personal medications.

Maintain an open and curious attitude. Peru has a rich and fascinating culture, and your experience will be much more enriching if you engage and learn from the locals.

Do not leave trash at the sites you visit. Carry a small bag to collect your waste and help keep the environment clean.

Check and comply with the tour departure times to ensure you avoid delays or the risk of missing your transportation.

  • Wear comfortable clothing in layers. The weather can change rapidly; mornings and nights can be chilly, while days are often warm.
  • Wear comfortable and appropriate walking shoes, as some paths may be uneven or slippery.
  • Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as UV rays are intensified at high altitudes.
  • Carry a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the tour. Altitude can increase your body\'s need for fluids.
  • Don\'t forget to bring your camera or mobile phone with a full battery and plenty of storage to capture the beauty of the Colca Canyon and its inhabitants.
