NOTE: You can also avoid the bus by taking a flight from Cusco or Lima. Please let us know if you prefer this option. AIT can arrange this for you.....

DAY 1: AREQUIPA:

06:00-06:30AM Upon arrival, you will be met at the bus station and brought to your hostel/hotel in Arequipa via transport. The rest of the day you are free to relax or explore on your own (Probably Peru's most beautiful city, the so-called "Ciudad Blanca" or white city).

DAY 02: AREQUIPA – CRUZ DEL CONDOR – AREQUIPA:

03:00 – 03:30AM You will be picked up from your hostel and depart on our private bus to the Colca Canyon. After 4 hours of a bus journey, you will go directly to the Condor’s Cross, only stopping in Chivay to have breakfast.

08:30AM You will arrive at the Condor’s Cross where we will appreciate the impressive views of one of the deepest canyons in the world and hopefully see the majestic Andean Condor bird that may be spotted flying just over your head (fingers crossed!). If this opportunity presents itself, you can get amazing photos of these birds whose presence creates a truly unique experience at the Canyon.

On the way back to Chivay, you will stop in the villages of Pinchollo, Maca, and Yanque. All small local villages that have colonial churches, tombs, and Pre-Inca terraces, and you will get to see the impact of living in the second-deepest Canyon in the world.

12:00PM We will arrive in Chivay to visit the hot springs if you wish and then we will stop to have lunch at a local restaurant.

On the way back to Arequipa, you will stop at Patapampa, an incredible viewpoint where you will see the Ampato, Sabancaya, and Hualca Hualca volcanoes side by side. This is also the highest point that we will reach at 4800 meters above sea level in Pampa Cañahuas.

17:30PM You will arrive back to Arequipa and be dropped off nearby the Plaza de Armas.
