The great Colca Canyon is three times deeper than the Colorado Canyon and has a striking beauty. It is home to two of the most authentic communities in the Andes: the Collaguas and the Cabanas. These people have adapted to life in the altitude challenging nature. Live fascinating days amongst volcanoes and condors, creating a memorable experience.

Upon arriving in Arequipa, we will assist you and transfer you to the selected hotel.
In the afternoon we will begin our city tour, admiring the beautiful Plaza de Armas (Main Square) and then, the celebrated Santa Catalina’s Convent. This beautiful convent was founded in 1580 and is similar to a small colonial village, with tiny houses built for the nuns and their maids, cloisters, plazas, narrow streets, kitchens, laundry and more.
We will continue with a visit to the Compañía de Jesús Church, a Jesuit church that is a jewel of baroque art and home to magnificent paintings. The ancient vestry is particularly beautiful with its cupola and walls covered in murals representing the jungle.
Afterwards, we will visit the residential districts of Yanahuara and Chilina, where we will have a magnificent view of Arequipa’s countryside and the Misti, the stunning volcano that seems to be guarding the city.
