Colca Canyon - Mixed Tour 3 days / 2 nights
 
This is the most attractive trek for visitors and tourists. We go by 4x4 from Arequipa and to the petrogliphs of Toro Muerto, crossing the dunes of the Atacama desert (one of the most beautiful deserts in the world). After crossing 160 Km we arrive at Toro Muerto. We will see a variety of more than 5000 volcanic stones belonging to pre–Incan times. After exploring the area (500 msl) we go to Huambo, Cabanaconde , and Colca Canyon by the way of Sihuas, also passing the Punta Colorada along the way, where we’ll stop to enjoy different dishes prepared with “Shrimps of the Majes River.” The 240 Km tour to Cabanaconde passes through the Valley of Volcanoes, providing us a view of two dwarf volcanoes.
First Day:
We visit the petrogliphs of Toro Muerto, Huambo village, and after 9 hours by 4WD we arrive to Cabanaconde (5:30-6:00 pm). Dinner. We will sleep in a hotel.

Third Day:
We begin our walk very early up to Cabanaconde, arriving 4 hours later (1400 meters). Upon arriving in Cabanaconde we have breakfast and then head to the Cruz Del Condor to see the condors in flight. After that we’ll visit the Colca Valley, where we’ll have a commanding view to the towns of Pinchollo, Maca, Yanque and Chivay. Other viewpoints, such as Antahuilque and Mollepunku, provide views to pre-Incan terraces and above-ground graves that belong to the Collagua period. Lunch in Chivay (optional hot springs, “La Calera”), and then back to Arequipa (4912m), stopping at the viewpoint of Los Andes along the way.
