We are the only adventure compàny who start this this colca canyon experience at 7 am from arequipa. Go on tour with the only operator in Arequipa Peru, which does adventure trekking tours leaving Arequipa at 7 am. As the 2-day trekking experience is in a small group  with a maximum of 5 people the tour will be very flexible. It allows you to determine the speed during the hike or you can take some great pictures wherever you want. The service is also a superior one, as it is a customised tour and not in a big backpackergroup. For those with less hiking experience, you could take another route to descend into the canyon. The hike is a bit steeper, but it is a shorter route. You may hike directly to the oasis where you can spend the afternoon relaxing at the swimming pool.

    We had an unforgettable 2-day tour with Ventura Travel!

    We had an unforgettable 2-day tour with Ventura Travel! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, making each stop truly meaningful. The itinerary balanced cultural insight, nature, and local cuisine beautifully. Transportation was comfortable and punctual. Highlights included scenic landscapes, authentic local experiences, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It felt like we saw and learned so much in just two days. Highly recommend Ventura Travel for a well-curated, stress-free adventure!

    Perfect Trek in Colca Canyon

    We were recommended Ventura Travel by acquaintances and we can only pass on the recommendation. The organization in advance with Raul worked wonderfully. We were picked up in the morning at 6.30am by our guide Christian at the hotel in Arequipa. Actually we had booked the group tour, but there were only two of us. We had a lot of fun with Christian, who showed us a lot and explained us and responded to all our wishes. The restaurants we went to were great and individually selected down to the last (the last restaurant was a bit touristy for us, but food was ok). We finished our trek in Chivay, from where we continued to Puno. Raul had already reserved the bus to Puno for us in advance, we didn't need to worry about that either. Very super great tour!!

    Trekking in Colca.. what a struggle

    I just got back from Peru, wonderful trip! For the trek to Colca Canyon we leaned on ventura travel Peru. We had a great time, everything organized to perfection. Our guide, Remi, was Fantastic, prepared throughout. For me it was fundamental given my moment of crisis given by fatigue. The only flaw is that they should equip themselves with transport a little more comfortable for groups of 5 people like us. Recommended!

    Awasome experience in Colca Canyon

    We did the 2 days trip in Colca with Ventura travel. We booked (and paid half of the price) via internet several months ago and everything went perfectly. Raul, the boss of the agency is perfect, very profesional and serious. We met at the hotel the day before the trip with our guide Carlos. Carlos is one the best guide we have ever had! He explained us a lot of things and we really discovered this region, and the way people live thanks to him (he knows everyone in the Canyon!). The Canyon is wonderful and the stay in Sangalle Oasis is one of our best experience in Peru. The transportation is also high-level in a brand new SUV, and the driver (the brother of Raul) is excellent and very safe (which is a major criteria when travelling by car in Peru). We thank again Raul and Carlos and strongly recommmend this agency. Charles and Sophie.

    Great Private 2 day trek in Colca Canyon

    We took the two day private trek and were met on time at our hotel in Arequipa by Christan who was clearly experienced and was very keen to make sure we enjoyed the experience. We went with his driver Manuel in a very clean new van and he pointed out lots of things on the way to the Colca Canyon. We headed into the canyon from around 11am at a good pace until we reached the river from where we headed uphill to the lunchstop, which was very nice and provided plenty of food. We walked from there for a few hours in the afternoon and reached Sangelle around 5.30pm. The cabin and dinner were more than adequate and a bit of a surprise considering the remoteness of the location. Christan made every effort to make sure we were informed, comfortable and happy and he was there to greet us at 4.30am when we headed up the mountain in the dark, arriving at 7.30am. We walked to breakfast in a nice hotel not far away and then onto the condors which were great to see. We recommend the hot springs after the trek and found it helped us both get over the aching legs from a pretty full -on two days . Both Christan and Manuel looked after us and provided lots of interesting facts about the canyon and its history. We recommend Ventura Travel and do your best to get Christan if possible, although I'm sure all the guides would go out of their way to look after you.

    2-Day Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 2-Day Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa cost?

    +

    Prices start at $350 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 Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa 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 Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 8 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 Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa?

    +

    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 Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa 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 Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa?

    +

    Around 3 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 Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa 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 Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa?

    +

    Included: Entrance fee included; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Professional guide; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner; and Driver/guide. Not included: Hot springs entrance fee (optional); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2-Day Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 35 listed pickup locations in and around Arequipa. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

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

    +

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

    +

    Is 2-Day Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa 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 Custom Colca Canyon Trek from Arequipa if the weather is bad?
