The Colca canyon measures with a depth of more than 3,000 meters, thus ensuring its fame as the second deepest canyon in the world. A natural habitat to alpacas, llamas and condors, its environment
presents excellent conditions for hiking, rock-climbing, parachuting and mountain biking. In addition, pre- Inca archeological sites dot its path with tiny colonial churches, thermal springs and a marvelous
landscape, all with the possibility of viewing the swooping condors that pass overhead. Its moderate climate and altitude make Colca Canyon a perfect place to acclimatize oneself before continuing the
journey to Cusco or Puno. In this program our team is in charge of providing all the necessary facilities and requirements to ensure security and a pleasant tour.
