    What you'll see and do

    1. Colca Canyon

      We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Arequipa and head toward Chivay, where a delicious Andean breakfast awaits. Your journey continues through the picturesque town of Yanque before reaching the famous Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint, the perfect spot to admire the Colca Canyon—one of the deepest in the world—and, with some luck, see condors soaring overhead. The adventure continues with stops at scenic viewpoints like Wayrapunko and Antahuillque, followed by a relaxing soak in the Chacapi hot springs. Afterward, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (own expense). In the afternoon, we’ll travel toward Puno, making stops at the Patapampa viewpoint (with views of the Ampato and Sabancaya volcanoes), the Salinas Reserve, and Lagunillas Lake, home to camelids and native birdlife. The tour ends in downtown Puno, after approximately 17 hours of travel and exploration.

    It was a wonderful...

    It was a wonderfully filled day with many impressions. The canyon with the condors is a highlight. Our guide informed us very comprehensively and sympathetically about everything.

    Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte. Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie einen so schönen und eindrucksvollen Tag erlebt haben und dass der Besuch des Canyons mit den Kondoren ein besonderes Highlight für Sie war. Ebenso schätzen wir Ihr positives Feedback über unsere Reiseleitung sehr. Es wäre uns eine große Freude, Sie in Zukunft wieder bei einer weiteren unvergesslichen Erfahrung begleiten zu dürfen.

    Colca Canyon Full Day Tour from Arequipa to Puno: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Colca Canyon Full Day Tour from Arequipa to Puno cost?

    +

    Prices start at $48 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 Colca Canyon Full Day Tour from Arequipa to Puno take?

    +

    Plan for about 17 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 Colca Canyon Full Day Tour from Arequipa to Puno worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Colca Canyon Full Day Tour from Arequipa to Puno?

    +

    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 Colca Canyon Full Day Tour from Arequipa to Puno suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 17-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Colca Canyon Full Day Tour from Arequipa to Puno?

    +

    Around 0 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 17-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Colca Canyon Full Day Tour from Arequipa to Puno 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 languages is Colca Canyon Full Day Tour from Arequipa to Puno offered in?

    +
