Beautiful trip - Got to see condors up, close and personal. The whole experience in the canyon was amazing, and at some points otherworldly. Highly recommended.

Good quality tour for your money - It is a complete experience. A lot for your money. The guide was knowledgeable. The canyon tour, mineral water springs, transport, two meals… all was great.

Beautiful condor flight over Colca canyon - Beautiful full-day tour (3am to 3pm). You can see the magnificent Colca Canyon at 3900m, and especially the Pacific flight of the condors! The time when you see the condors is around 11am, so the departure is very early. Before the canyon we had a typical Andean breakfast in the village of Chivay (3600m) After that we also went to the Chacapi spa, but nothing much! On the way back we stopped at a step at 4900 m to admire the various volcanoes around. The guide - Marco António - was very good. He speaks both Italian and English very well and gives a lot of information.

Chile... wears blocker and layered clothing - Spectacular, almost 13 hours worth. Bring water and you will marvel at the views. Shopping with breakfast and lunch included, is very good.

Breathtaking views - I was truly amazed by the breathtaking landscapes of the Colca Canyon — its depth and natural beauty far exceeded my expectations. The views were absolutely stunning and left a lasting impression. I also thoroughly enjoyed the time spent relaxing in the hot springs, which added a perfect touch of comfort and tranquility to the overall experience.

Superb but a bit of disappointment anyway - Good principle for those who have little time to visit the area. The path can be difficult on the stomach but good management by the guide (equally informative and humorous throughout the day). The canyon is spectacular, we see plenty of condors, the vegetation is beautiful, unfortunately too few photo stops and centered on tourist stops pushing for consumption Too bad because the other nice surprise is the return through the national park with semi-desert landscapes and snow-covered volcanoes, dotted with vicuñas and llamas. Maybe we're getting too old for this kind of too touristy excursion...

Good- with some glitches - This was a good way to see Colca Canyon- but there were too many stops which made the day too long. With an early morning start, breakfast was a quick in/out stop, the next visit was only 15 minutes not too long after breakfast. The viewpoints and the condors were amazing-- worth the price of the trip and extra Soles to enter the preserve Then, we stopped for the hot springs/different activities. This was the biggest waste of time, and purely a tourist money grab. Lunch was decent and then at least 3 more short stops- but at this point you have been on a bus for 12 hours, so it is a little tiring. Tour guide was knowledge and very friendly, but we aware that you do not get dropped off at your starting location or even in the Plaza. We were dropped off many blocks away from there in twilight hours having to find our way back to the hotel. Some more refinement and this would be rated higher.
