    Beautiful canyon, late bus, meh-food

    The canyon itself is very beautiful with lots of interesting flora and fauna to observe. However, the bus was an hour late for pick-up, the bus was too cold to sleep in on the the way to the canyon, and the “breakfasts” that were included were not appropriate for the amount of activity that this trek requires. Overall average experience.

    2-Day Colca Canyon Trek: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 2-Day Colca Canyon Trek cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 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 Colca Canyon Trek 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 Colca Canyon Trek worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arequipa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Colca Canyon Trek?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2-Day Colca Canyon Trek 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 Colca Canyon Trek?

    +

    Around 1 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 Colca Canyon Trek 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 Colca Canyon Trek?

    +

    Included: Pick up from centrally located Arequipa city hotels; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Gratuities; Drop off at the hotel; Admission fees; and Admission fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2-Day Colca Canyon Trek include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 94 listed pickup locations in and around Arequipa. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is 2-Day Colca Canyon Trek offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2-Day Colca Canyon Trek?

    +

    Is 2-Day Colca Canyon Trek wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 2-Day Colca Canyon Trek if the weather is bad?

    +
