A beautiful two days in the Colca Canyon with Mario!
We really enjoyed the two day trip to Colca Canyon with Inti Peru. It was an early start and a fair bit of driving, but the views along the way made it worth it. Seeing the Condors flying so close at the canyon was definitely the highlight for us. Our guide was friendly and everything went smoothly. Tiring by the end, but such a memorable expereince!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 😊 We’re so happy you enjoyed your two-day adventure in Colca. Seeing the condors flying so close is truly one of those moments you never forget! 🏔️✨ Thank you for trusting our team to be part of your journey. We hope you take home wonderful memories of Colca and our beautiful Arequipa. We’d love to welcome you back someday to discover even more of southern Peru! 🇵🇪

Authentic cultural experience
We had a fantastic trip and wish we had more time to enjoy the place. The hike on the first day was very easy as it was completely down hill, but the sun made it a bit tough. On day two we had to hike all the way back up. The experience was very good though, it was nice to meet local people and witness their way of life and how they have preserved their age old traditions and customs. It was well worth the hike.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! Reading your review truly makes us smile. The Colca Canyon trek can be challenging, especially with the sun on the first day and the climb back up on the second, but we're so happy to know it was worth every step for you. One of the most special parts of this experience is meeting the local families and learning about the traditions and customs they have preserved for generations. We love sharing these authentic moments with travelers from all over the world, and it means a lot to know that you enjoyed them. Thank you for trusting us with your adventure. We hope one day you can return and spend even more time discovering the magic of Colca and the beauty of southern Peru. Warm regards, INTI PERU TRAVEL Team

2 Days Colca Living Experience Nature Culture and Tradition: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.
How much does 2 Days Colca Living Experience Nature Culture and Tradition cost?
+
Prices start at $173 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 Days Colca Living Experience Nature Culture and Tradition 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 Days Colca Living Experience Nature Culture and Tradition worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Arequipa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Colca Living Experience Nature Culture and Tradition?
+
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 Days Colca Living Experience Nature Culture and Tradition 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 Colca Living Experience Nature Culture and Tradition?
+
Around 2 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 Days Colca Living Experience Nature Culture and Tradition 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 Days Colca Living Experience Nature Culture and Tradition?
