Day 1 – Arequipa, Volcano Viewpoint & Hot Springs

We will begin the Colca Canyon Tour from Arequipa to Puno 2 Days with a drive towards the Colca Valley. On the way, we pass through the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve, home to South American camelids such as vicuñas, alpacas, and llamas.

We’ll stop in Viscachani to enjoy a cup of coca tea, which helps with acclimatization. After that, we ascend to Patapampa (4,910 m a.s.l.), also called the Volcano Viewpoint, where you can admire the volcanic chain that includes Hualca Hualca, Sabancaya, and Ampato.

Upon arrival in Chivay, you’ll check into your hotel and enjoy a local lunch (not included). In the afternoon, around 3:00 p.m., relax at the Chacapi hot springs, where the thermal waters reach more than 40°C. To finish the day, you may choose a folkloric dinner (not included)  show with traditional music and dances, a cultural highlight for those staying overnight in Chivay.

Day 2 – Cruz del Condor & Arrival in Puno

On Day 2, the Colca Canyon Tour from Arequipa to Puno 2 Days continues with an early departure to the Cruz del Condor Viewpoint, where you can watch the majestic flight of the Andean condors and admire the incredible depth of the Colca Canyon.

On the return, we explore pre-Inca terraces and other panoramic viewpoints of the Colca Valley. We’ll also pass through traditional villages like Pinchollo, Maca, Achoma, and Yanque, where we stop briefly to see typical churches, artisan markets, and colorful local clothing.

Back in Chivay, you’ll enjoy lunch before departing to Puno at 1:00 p.m. Along the route, we make one last stop at Lagunillas Lake, where flamingos, geese, and seagulls can be observed. Arrival in Puno is around 7:20 p.m., marking the end of the Colca Canyon Tour from Arequipa to Puno 2 Days.
