    Unforgettable!

    Had an amazing time with my friend on this 2-day trip to Colca. This place is gorgeous and our guide was fantastic the whole time. We couldn’t have wished for a better experience.

    Great tour!

    This experience is truly unforgettable. The views, the animals, the hike, everything came together to create a truly wonderful experience in this beautiful part of Peru. I highly recommend it!

    Fantastic scenery

    Great experience, the colca canyon offers a fantastic scenery. We saw some condors along the way, too. The hike is quite challenging, especially on the second day - it's going 1200 altitude meters up. Planning was good, everything was taken care of, for example the transport of our luggage and the transfer to Puno (we had to change busses). The included food was okay, but not great. Same for the accomodation: Oasis ecolodge was a little shabby. But for one night it was ok.

    Beautiful place!

    One of our reasons for doing this tour was to be able to walk a lot while enjoying beautiful landscapes. This 2-day tour met our expectations and we were able to walk several kilometers until we reached Sangalle, which was the place where we slept. On day 2 we didn't walk much, but it was challenging having to climb the canyon until we got back to Cabanaconde. The transfer to Puno made things much easier for us, because we did not have to return back to Arequipa to continue our trip in Peru.

    Great experience to watch condors!

    In my opinion, the best part of visiting the Colca Canyon is being able to enjoy nature. My favorite part was being able to see the condors fly. Condors are the second largest flying birds in the world after the albatross.

    2 Day Trek Including Transfer to Puno / Colca Canyon: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 2 Day Trek Including Transfer to Puno / Colca Canyon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $179 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 Trek Including Transfer to Puno / 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 Trek Including Transfer to Puno / Colca Canyon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 40 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 Trek Including Transfer to Puno / 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 Trek Including Transfer to Puno / 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 Trek Including Transfer to Puno / Colca Canyon?

    +

    Around 14 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 Trek Including Transfer to Puno / 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 Trek Including Transfer to Puno / Colca Canyon?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Transfer from Chivay to Puno; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Entrance to the Colca Canyon; Last lunch in Chivay / Buffet; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Day Trek Including Transfer to Puno / Colca Canyon include hotel pickup?

    +

    Is 2 Day Trek Including Transfer to Puno / Colca Canyon wheelchair or stroller accessible?
