Day 1: Arequipa - Chivay hot spring waters

We will begin the tour by picking up participants from their hotel in Arequipa at 8:00 in the morning. We will board the transport that will take us to Chivay. Along the way, we will make several stops to enjoy and photograph points of interest, such as Pampas de Cañahuas, Patahuasi, Taqora, and Patapampa, which offer vast landscapes with rock formations, lagoons, snow-capped mountains, and local flora and fauna.

We will arrive in Chivay around noon and head to the reserved hostel to settle in and have lunch. In the afternoon, we will visit the La Calera hot springs and a small nearby museum, where we will also enjoy a folkloric show. Dinner will be on your own, and we will spend the night at the hotel.

Day 2: Cruz del Condor - sorrounding towns - Arequipa

We will start the day very early. At 5:30 in the morning, after breakfast, we will head to the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint. On the way, our first stop will be the town of Yanque, where we can enjoy traditional dances and visit its colonial church with beautiful portals.

At approximately 8:00 in the morning, we will arrive at Cruz del Cóndor, where we can observe the flight of the endangered condors and enjoy spectacular views of the canyon. An optional 40-minute hike along the canyon edge is also offered.

On our way back to Chivay, we will stop at the Antahuilque viewpoint to take impressive photos of the Colca Canyon. Then, we will visit the Choquetico tombs to admire the archaeological remains carved into the slopes of Cerro Cabanaconde. We will continue with a visit to the town of Maca and its mestizo baroque-style church.

Finally, we will arrive in Chivay for lunch and then begin our return journey to Arequipa, arriving around 5:30 in the afternoon.
