Great hike away from the crowds - I found this tour by accident, and I didn’t regret to book it. On the first and the last day, we saw a lot of people on the descent and ascent to and from the bottom of the canyon. But the rest of the time, we were alone in the nature. The 2nd day we hiked from the bottom of the canyon to the waterfall, which was quite challenging, as I was not yet completely adapted to the altitude. But it was worth it. The waterfall is beautiful, we were completely alone there and on top of it we saw some condors flying. Willmar was a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the area and its nature. And he organized some nice places to sleep (with also good food)

Una gran experiencia con un gran guia. A great experience with a great guide. - El pasado 3 e Julio comence mi trek de cuatro dias en el Cañon del Colca con Peru Breathtaking Trips. Semanas antes de comenzar mi trek habia contactacto via correo electronico desde los Estados Unidos a varias agencias de turismo de Arequipa, algunas de ellas no me contestaron y algunas lo hicieron demasiado tarde y con una informacion muy vaga. La unica persona que me respondio a tiempo y me dio una informacion detallada acerca del trek fue Wilmar de Peru Breathtaking Trips, Wilmar fue muy comunicativo y describio con detalles todo lo necesario para el trek. Una vez en Arequipa el trek comenzo sin ningun contratiempo, mi guia fue Vladimir, una gran persona con un gran conocimiento geologico de la zona y conocimientos de historia prehispanica y contemporanea de la region. Creo que la mejor manera de conocer el Cañon del Colca es haciendo el trek de cuatro dias ya que te llevan por caminos maravillosos hacia el pueblo de Llatica y a la gran catarata de Huaruro, lugares que no se visitan en un trek de dos o tres dias. Si quieren hacer este trek u otra excursion por los alrededores de Arequipa, les recomiendo grandemente Peru Breathtaking Trips, les aseguro que no los defraudaran y su visita les sera mas placentera. On July 3rd, I started my four-day trek in the Colca Canyon with Peru Breathtaking Trips. Weeks before starting my trek, I had contacted several tourist agencies in Arequipa via email from the United States, some did not answer me, and some did so too late and with very vague information. The only person who answered me on time and gave me detailed information about the trek was Wilmar from Peru Breathtaking Trips; Wilmar was very communicative and detailed everything necessary. Once in Arequipa, the trek began without any setbacks; my guide was Vladimir, a great person with great geological knowledge of the area and knowledge of the pre-Hispanic and contemporary history of the region. The four-day trek is the best way to get to know the Colca Canyon since they take you along wonderful paths to Llatica and the great Huaruro waterfall, which is not visited in a two- or three-day trek. If you want to do this trek or another excursion around Arequipa, I highly recommend Peru Breathtaking Trips; I assure you that you will not be disappointed and your visit will be more pleasant.
