Arequipa and the Colca Canyon Holidays

Then there’s the Colca Canyon, which lies a few hours to the north, a place where wild adventure and breathtaking hikes await. The canyon, which plunges over a kilometre from its highest rugged hills to the riverbed below, bestows truly spectacular views, enhanced no end by the presence of a very special creature: the Giant Andean Condor. This iconic bird can often be seen swooping past the walls of the canyon, glimpsed from many scenic, elevated lookout points for an archetypal Peruvian moment to remember.
