    Very well organized, worth the price.

    We have associated several activities with this agency. Very good communication, even if we had doubts, they knew how to respond to us on time. The tour to the Colca is just spectacular, we could see many condors flying very close to us, but you need to wear warm clothes because the place is very cold, after a long trip, visiting the hot springs will help you recover. Unfortunately, we did not use the additional services, if you are not in a hurry, I recommend buying the complete package.

    All very well

    All excellent! Thank you very much Manuel, our tour guide. I recommend adding food and tickets for the activity, paying in the same place can be difficult if you don’t carry cash.

    Do not use this company!!

    The coach did not collect us from our hotel. We have been waiting since 7.25 am for a 7.30-7.40 pick up. The office was closed until 9am and we have been calling them since then with no reply. We have paid a lot of money to transfer to Chivay, lunch on day 1, dinner on day 1, hot springs visit, visit to Colca Canyon, lunch on day 2 and transfer to Puno. All tickets. Do not use this company!!!

    2 Day Tour to Colca Canyon: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 2 Day Tour to Colca Canyon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $43 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 Tour to 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 Tour to Colca Canyon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 Tour to Colca Canyon?

    +

    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 Tour to 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 Tour to Colca Canyon?

    +

    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 Tour to 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 Tour to Colca Canyon?

    +

    Included: Bilingual guide english and spanish; and Hotel Pickup. Not included: Accommodation in Chivay town on day 1 (it must be booked by the client); Entrance fee to Colca Canyon; Entrance fee to the hot spring; and Lunch on Day 1. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Day Tour to Colca Canyon include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 117 listed pickup locations in and around Arequipa. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is 2 Day Tour to Colca Canyon 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 Tour to Colca Canyon?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

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

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Arequipa. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
