Amazing day trip with a great guide!
We really enjoyed our tour with our guide Jorge! He was very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and made the experience even better. The hike was just the right length and not too physically demanding. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great day trip! ☺️ /Hanna and Hanna from Sweden

Amazing
Very good experience, a must do if you visit Arequipa. We had Ivan as guide, and he was amazing, such a nice guy. This company makes you feel all alone in the colca canyon, with no other tourists around, and it felt so peaceful and nice. 10/10

Perfect Colca Canyon 1 day experience
We had a great time on the one day colca trek with hiking - the hike was light & had great views of the canyon and the guide was very knowledgable about the region. Saw a bunch of condors!

Vamas à la playa
Definitely worth doing if you enjoy walking. £45 each for the two day trek which includes breakfast, lunch, overnight stay and breakfast the next day. The walk is difficult but 100% worth it. They also have mules for the second day if you don’t want to walk back up out of the canyon. Stunning scenery and Shoutout Vladimir for being top guide and getting us through! Vamos à la playa

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Colca Canyon One Day Tour Hike Condor Viewpoint Inca Trail: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.
How much does Colca Canyon One Day Tour Hike Condor Viewpoint Inca Trail cost?
+
Prices start at $59 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 One Day Tour Hike Condor Viewpoint Inca Trail take?
+
Plan for about 14.3 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 One Day Tour Hike Condor Viewpoint Inca Trail worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 One Day Tour Hike Condor Viewpoint Inca Trail?
+
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 One Day Tour Hike Condor Viewpoint Inca Trail suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Colca Canyon One Day Tour Hike Condor Viewpoint Inca Trail?
+
Around 6 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 14.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Colca Canyon One Day Tour Hike Condor Viewpoint Inca Trail 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.
