Great experience! I recommend - This experience was great! We loved the scenery. The colca canyon is magnificent. Our guide Rafael was very good!! Thank you to him!! I recommend this excursion! Warning: the trek is not accessible to all. It is necessary to have a good physical condition (on the first day you must go down into the canyon. It's about 1100 m of D-. And the next day you have to wind it up).

Rafa the legend - Even though this trek was physically challenging we enjoyed it very much. Rafael was an amazing tour guide! The trek is 20 kilometers but has a lot of elevation, unfit hikers beware. Rafael gave us an amazing tour and made us laugh many times!

Great trip - We had an incredible time on this trip. Our guide Tony was very knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful when my girlfriend had issues with her knee during the descent The accommodation was excellent and the meals were pretty good. The extra activites on the second day were a nice bonus

Colca canyon 2days 1 night - It was rudum everything was well organized, we saw condore and our guide alex guided us well through the canyon and explained things. As the only one I would recommend taking toilet paper with us as we did not have any in the oasis in the room. Otherwise all around successful tour which I recommend👍🏼

Great Experience! - Colca Canyon was breathtaking and a must see if you are visiting Peru. Seeing the condors and the sunrise over the canyon on the second day were highlights of our trip. Our guide Alex was very helpful and knowledgeable. The food was good but the accommodations were a bit rustic. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Very good guide! - Difficult trek, 26 km in 2 days, 3900 meters of altitude. Elevation change of 1000 meters in 4 hours on return. Horse/Donkey option on return. No hot water for the shower at the cottage. Experienced guide who shared a lot of his knowledge about places, culture, fauna and flora, very interesting! I am very proud to have done so. Beautiful scenery!!🏔️❤️

After sweating walking down, enjoying the Canyon, exploring the nature with Condors and amazing views - The Canyon is beautiful and hiking it is the best way to experience its beauty. Also the accomodation in the valley was basic but very good with a nice pool. Rafael was a great guide. He was supportive, entertaining and explained us a lot with passion. He showed us the use of many exotic fruits, traditions of the indigenous people and even shared some interesting and exciting personal information with us. Hiking down in the hot and powerful sun at noon was very challenging. Surprisingly hiking up on the second day felt much easier because we started very early in the morning. One negative point in addition to the hot temperatures was the food which could have been better.

Great guide, but organization should be improved - Our guide Carlos was great, he speaks good english and we learnt a lot from him about the nature of Colca. The organization was not perfect, in the hot springs we had only 20 minutes instead of one hour. The second day we started the trek in the dark, many people were not informed that they need a headlamp/flashlight. The vegan food provided had not much nutritional value. At the accomodation in the canyon there was not hot water, a cold shower was really unpleasent. Lunch on the second day was more expensive than announced before.
