DAY 1: AREQUIPA - CHIVAY - CRUZ DEL CÓNDOR VIEWPOINT - DESCENT TO THE CANYON

The adventure kicks off at 3 am with a pick-up from your hotel. We'll embark on a fascinating journey through Andean landscapes to the picturesque village of Chivay, where we'll enjoy a delicious breakfast to recharge our batteries.

We'll continue to the iconic Mirador Cruz del Cóndor, one of the most spectacular points of the tour. Here you'll have the unique opportunity to observe the majestic flight of the Andean condor. The best season to see the largest flying bird in the world is June, July, and August, gliding over the depths of the canyon with the morning thermal currents.

Then we'll start our trek, heading down into the heart of the canyon. For about seven hours of walking on the first day, you'll descend along zigzagging trails surrounded by pre-Inca terraces, native vegetation, and breathtaking panoramic views. We'll arrive at our accommodation at the bottom of the canyon, where we'll spend the night surrounded by nature and tranquility.

DAY 2: CANYON ASCENT - THERMAL BATHS - RETURN TO AREQUIPA

We'll wake up early to take advantage of the cool morning air and keep exploring the canyon. We'll take a three-hour hike, climbing an average of 1,100 metres from Oasis to Cabanaconde for breakfast after ascending the canyon.
Later, we'll head back to Chivay, where you'll have free time to relax in the soothing thermal baths of medicinal waters, perfect for recharging your batteries after the trek.

The trip back to Arequipa will be just as spectacular. We'll make strategic stops at the Mirador de Volcanes, where you can see an impressive chain of snow-capped volcanoes, and we'll cross the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserve, home to vicuñas, alpacas, and llamas in their natural habitat

Finally, we'll arrive in Arequipa in the afternoon, with a drop-off near the Plaza de Armas, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this adventure in one of the deepest canyons in the world.
