Excellent tour
Both the guides were excellent. The buses were very good too. The guides were very knowledgeable. Juan went out of the way to help me in ever stop for my back problem. The guides were also knowledgeable. The hotel was good if not great. It doesn't matter too because it was just one night. The restaurants for lunch and dinner were excellent. Sply the dinner with Andean music and dance. Loved it. Would highly recommend this tour.

Watching condors
I participated this overnight tour via Calca Canyon rather than simply moving from Puno to Arequipa. The canyon was spectacular. Really enjoyed watching a couple of condors flying and staying on the ridges together.
Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us! We are delighted to know that you enjoyed the Tour. Seeing the Andean condors flying over the canyon is truly one of the most memorable experiences in this region, and we are very happy that you had the opportunity to witness them so closely. Thank you for choosing us to be part of your trip. We truly appreciate your trust and hope you take wonderful memories of Colca Canyon and Peru with you. Kind regards, Ronald Ticona

Great trip!
This was a great way to get from Puno to Arequipa at the same time as seeing the Colca Canyon and condors. The trip included multiple stops at places of interest (small towns and viewing points) , an optional trip to thermal spring baths, hotel (small 3* hotel, on a par with other 3* hotels we’ve stayed at in Peru), dinner and local music/dance show. We had a great time and would recommend the trip. Things to be aware of - we left Arequipa early on a large comfortable coach aware that on day 2 we would be transferred to a smaller mini bus style transport. Approx half way to Colca at a service stop we were informed that we were switching to a smaller mini bus then. We joined a group who’d come from Arequipa - the mini bus was full and it felt quite a squeeze and from the back row which was raised it was difficult to see out of the window. - the evening dinner and music show was fine but the food was not great - other people seemed to be on different tours that did/did not include the same ‘things’. As a result on iDay 2 before we could go to the canyon to see the condors, we had to make a 30 minute round trip to pick people up who had chosen their own accommodation somewhat in the country side - we were told on day 2 that our pick up would be 6am or thereabouts but the hotel that the tour had booked us into didn’t start serving breakfast until 6am. Our pick up was adjusted to allow us to have breakfast but it felt like we’d had to rush breakfast to then do a detour to pick up the people who’d stayed in another town. - The guide was brilliant. Full of so much information, interesting and funny. He was really kind to a girl who was unwell, possibly suffering from the altitude and arranged for a doctor to meet her when we stopped for lunch. My only negative comment is that for the last hour and a half of the drive in to Puno he was watching a TV show or something on his mobile phone without ear phones and it was quite intrusive for us as passengers. - the driver got us there safely and in one piece but this sort of trip isn’t for the faint hearted! Early in the journey out of Puno e we drive past a lorry that was overturned and hanging off the side of the road - it had only recently happened. Some of the overtaking felt a little questionable but we survived! On the route into Arequipa we drive past a vehicle ‘graveyard’ containing lots of smashed in buses, coaches, mini buses etc which had obviously been in fairly serious accidents. But all that said, we saw lots of condors at Colca canyon which was amazing and we’d do it again!
Response from the operator: Dear Suzanne, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your adventure. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience, especially the opportunity to visit the Colca Canyon, observe the magnificent condors, and explore the various towns and viewpoints along the route. It is also wonderful to know that our guide made a positive impression with his knowledge, sense of humor, and care for the well being of our passengers. We sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the transportation arrangements, the dinner service, the pickup logistics on the second day, and the guide's mobile phone usage during part of the journey. Please be assured that we take these comments seriously and will share them with our operations team and service providers to help us improve the overall experience for future travelers. Regarding the transportation changes and route adjustments, we understand that these may have caused some inconvenience, and we will continue working to provide clearer information and more efficient coordination whenever possible. We are grateful for your recognition of our guide's professionalism and our driver's efforts throughout the trip. Passenger safety remains our highest priority, and we continuously monitor our transportation partners to ensure safe and reliable service. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback and for choosing Titicaca Tours. We are pleased that, despite some inconveniences, you were able to enjoy the incredible experience of seeing the condors in Colca Canyon. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another adventure in Peru. Kind regards, Ronald Ticona

2 Days and 1 Night Tour from Puno to Colca Canyon and Arequipa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does 2 Days and 1 Night Tour from Puno to Colca Canyon and Arequipa cost?
+
Prices start at $240 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puno usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days and 1 Night Tour from Puno to Colca Canyon and 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 Puno is not rushed.
Is 2 Days and 1 Night Tour from Puno to Colca Canyon and Arequipa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days and 1 Night Tour from Puno to Colca Canyon and Arequipa?
+
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 Days and 1 Night Tour from Puno to Colca Canyon and 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 Days and 1 Night Tour from Puno to Colca Canyon and Arequipa?
+
Around 9 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 Puno 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 Puno and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days and 1 Night Tour from Puno to Colca Canyon and 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 Puno 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 Puno?
+
On Outty we rank every Puno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat, Uros and Taquile Speedboat Day Tour in Small Group, Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat. 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 Puno?
+
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 Puno?
+
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 Days and 1 Night Tour from Puno to Colca Canyon and Arequipa?
+

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 53 listed pickup locations in and around Puno. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 2 Days and 1 Night Tour from Puno to Colca Canyon and Arequipa offered in?
+
