    Very disapointing

    Payment was taken by Viator but no valid reservation was created. I eventually received a refund, but that does not compensate for the consequences during my trip in Peru. I lost two days reorganizing transport, accommodation and activities at the last minute because I relied on this booking. Customer support refunded the payment but completely refused to acknowledge the disruption caused. Very disappointing experience.

    Colca canyon!

    Colca canyon was on my list after Machu Picchu of course and I’m glad I was able to visit it. This time of the year is good because there is no rain but it can get a bit cold specially at night. Our group was small and our guide Miguel kept us entertained. I really recommend this place to anyone seeking for hiking in a beautiful area.

    Breathtaking place!

    The Colca canyon is just breathtaking. I had a fantastic time on this 2-day tour along with some fellow travelers and our wonderful guide Miguel. This tour is quite challenging since a lot of walk is involved. Make sure you are in a decent physical condition before joining this tour.

    Great hike!

    My friend and I had a great time hiking in the Colca canyon. We saw so much wildlife. The food was also a highlight, as you know Peru is famous for food and here we could tried authentic Peruvian food from the Andes. Highly recommended!

    2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.

    How much does 2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $124 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arequipa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arequipa is not rushed.

    Is 2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 94 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Arequipa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon?

    +

    Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arequipa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arequipa and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arequipa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Arequipa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Arequipa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arequipa Rafting on the Chili river free pick-up,snack., 2 Day 1 Night Trek Colca Canyon, Chili River White Water Rafting Adventure with Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Arequipa?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Arequipa?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon?

    +

    Included: Private tourist transport; Lunch; Dinner; Breakfast; and Hotel/hostel pickups. Not included: Entrance to the Colca Canyon; Entrance to the Hot Springs; and Last lunch in Chivay / Buffet. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is 2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon offered in?

    +

    Is 2 Day 1 Night Trek / Colca Canyon wheelchair or stroller accessible?
