Frequently asked questions about the 2-day Colca Canyon tour

What is so special about the Colca Canyon?

The Colca Canyon is the perfect place to see one of the most representative birds of biodiversity in our country, the Andean condor. You can watch their flight from the Cruz del Condor viewpoint and marvel at the size of these birds as well as the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

How deep is the Colca Canyon?

At 4160 meters deep, the Colca Canyon is the second deepest in the world and has over 150 million years of rock formation that has varied in size and composition over time.

What is the climate like in the Colca Valley?

In Colca, summers are short, comfortable and cloudy; winters are short, cool and partly cloudy and it is dry throughout the year. During the course of the year, the temperature generally varies from 7 °C to 22 °C and rarely drops below 5 °C or rises above 25 °C.

What is a good time to go to the Colca?

May to November is the best time to visit the Colca Valley, but you can go any time of the year.

What is the difference between the Colca Canyon TOURS and TREKS?

During the tours you will have limited walking sections, as most of the time you stay on a bus and only get outside at several viewing points. The tours are more recommended for travellers who want or (because of physical conditions) have to take it easy. Treks however, are perfect for people with good physical condition. With treks, you will definitely get more and intense views of the beautiful and unique landscape of the Canyon.

What does the Colca mean?

Colca is a deposit to store food. There are deposits of everything, deposits of fabrics, deposits of tools, deposits of weapons, deposits of meat as well.

I do not want to take all of my belongings with me, Where can I leave my big bag or suitcase?

Hotels and hostels in Arequipa will normally store your bags in their safety deposit for free whilst you are away at the Canyon, until you check in again upon your return. Head off to the trip with just what you need and leave the rest in storage.

Will I see Condors on this tour?

There are quite a few Condors out there, and as we visit different viewing points the chances are quite good. We still cannot guarantee that you will be able to see them, but if you get lucky they will fly just above your head!
