Review of Arequipa’s $55 Colca Canyon day trip, with condors, Andean villages, hot springs, high passes, and practical advice.
“The guide was excellent in his explanation of each area we saw, history of the region and the condors. I did not give five stars only because of the drop off. After picking us up at 3:00 am at our hotel they drop you off at 6:00 pm at a central drop off. If would have been nice to know that we had to find our way back to our hotel after a 16 hour day”

Review of a $32 Colca Canyon tour from Arequipa, with condor viewing, hot springs, Chivay, camelids, bilingual guides, and practical tips.
“I was reading especially negative reviews, because I was skeptical about the tour. I contacted the provider if the tour is ok for children and no response, it didn’t make me optimistic. It was confirmed it’s ok for children. I received 2 different times for picking, it was confirmed again. I didn’t feel comfortable, but I’m happy I was on the tour. The group was mixed Spanish & English and Raul explained everything bilingual even Raul said more information in Spanish. I had opportunity to ask, fair approach! I highly appreciate his approach, he told us e.g. this will happen, they’ll ask for money, I don’t recommend you to do…”

Review of the private Salinas Salt Lagoon day trip from Arequipa, with wildlife, hiking, volcano views, practical tips, and value advice.
“Salinas salt lagoon is incredibly beautiful. I was there during the rainy season so it’s not white but instead a big mirror. Our guide Elli was super knowledgeable and could answer all our questions about the region and the lagoon itself. Since we were only two guests, the whole tour was super flexible and tailored to our wishes.”
Coast, canyon, altiplano and jungle, and the best of each.
