Worth the price and time! - This was a great tour! After travelling around Peru for about 10 days and having a lot of really long, intense days, this 2-day tour was just perfect. Colca Canyon is quite far from Arequipa so if you chose to do a 1-day tour, you will spend MANY hours in a van. Having two days was not only less tiring, it also allowed us to see other places in the area like the hot springs and some small villages. Our guide Vanessa did a great job in taking us to points of the canyon that were not overcrowded with tourists.

We spent two days... - We spent two fantastic days EN the Colca Valley, the organization was perfect and all very punctual. Although there was a lot of road travel, as ES normal, we had the necessary stops to go to the bathroom, take a break or take some pictures. Recommended 100%

Chief & Lola’s Colca Canyon Adventure - We had a wonderful experience visiting Colca Canyon. Our driver, Jesus, and tour guide, Vanessa, did a great job. Great information at every stop…we stayed at the Colca Canyon Hotel in Chivay and it was a pleasant surprise….we are vegan’s and the meals all had vegan options…we would highly recommend this tour to anyone…

Great views of natural beauty - Termal bath and folklor show were great but the real highlight were the condors. We were lucky to see 7-8 condors, few from up close.

Not bad - The views are majestic and the thermal waters were very relaxing. Things that would make the trip better is a van with better suspension. The ride we had was extremely bumpy, felt every single imperfection in the road and hours of this led to string headaches. The places we stopped for food were also mid. Our guide was very punctual and did his job well in getting us to the destinations, though he is a bit terse at times. It’s definitely worth visiting the sites if it’s possible to do it with higher quality food and transportation even if it means higher cost.

Mediocre tour - The guide spoke little English, and couldn’t understand the questions we asked. Didn’t provide clear and relevant background information of places we visited. Both lunches were buffet, which was okay.

Disappointing - The first day on this tour was pretty boring. It was a long bus ride to the middle of nowhere. The look out, one of the main attractions of the day, was completely covered in fog so we couldn't see anything. To top it off our tour guide's English was difficult to understand and he provided very little insight. Only some basic info here or there. The hot springs were very disappointing. They were just tubs of luke warm water from the mountains. Some were not open so the available ones were crowded. Not what we expected at all. The hotel was freezing and had no hot water for showering. The only thing we enjoyed that day was the dancing at dinner time. The dancers were very good story tellers. The second day was better. Colca Canyon was interesting, but also foggy. It would have been better without the fog of course. We lucked out and saw some Condors, which we did enjoy seeing. Somehow the number of people on the tour grew significantly on the second day. By the time we were picked up, we were shafted to the back of the bus which wasn't very comfortable. If you want to do Colca Canyon, I recommend looking for a smaller tour size and doing it in a day. A smaller tour would hopefully mean you get a more personalized experience with a tour guide that could give you more insight. You can skip the hot springs (which we were excited for) and the cold hotel in Chivay. It's a longer day but having 2 days did not add much. The buffets were medicor.
