Description
DAY 1
Passengers will be picked up at 3 AM from their hotels in the city center. Then, we will travel to the Colca Valley and Chivay, where we will have a delicious breakfast with quinoa juice and local fruits. After that, we will head to the Condor vantage point, where we can appreciate the depth of the canyon and have the possibility of seeing condors flying in their natural habitat. This will depend on the season, since from May to September, we have a 70-80% chance of seeing them. In the rainy season, it simply It depends on luck, as it's a natural event. Then we continue by transportation to the starting point of the San Miguel trek. From here, we'll have a 12-13-kilometer trekking route, walking along canyon trails. We'll have a break for lunch in the community of San Juan, and in the afternoon, we'll arrive in Sangalle, known as the oasis of Colca, where we'll have dinner and accommodation in cabins, and time to swim in crystal-clear pools surrounded by the canyon walls.
