    Just Amazing

    An unforgettable off-the-beaten-path experience! The 2-day Off the Beaten Path Colca Canyon Trek was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Peru. If you're looking for something beyond the typical tourist route, this is the perfect adventure. Our guide, Honorio, made the experience truly exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, traditions, flora, and fauna of the Colca Valley. Throughout the trek, he shared fascinating stories about the local communities and made us appreciate the region on a much deeper level. His passion for his homeland is contagious. The trek itself is breathtaking. Walking through remote villages, ancient agricultural terraces, lush valleys, and dramatic canyon landscapes gave us an authentic glimpse of rural life that we would never have experienced on a standard tour. This tour is ideal for travelers who enjoy nature, hiking, and genuine cultural experiences rather than crowded viewpoints. The landscapes are spectacular, and the sense of tranquility is something we will never forget. A huge thank you to Honorio for making this adventure so memorable.

    Response from the operator: Thank you

    Try off the beaten path!

    We just completed the 2-day Colca Trek “off the beaten path” tour with Marcello as our guide, and we highly recommend it. Marcello was knowledgable, thoughtful, patient, and took care of everything for us from start to finish. He made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable, even during the tougher parts of the hike. He also has perfect English. Not many people seem to do the trek this way round, but we’re so glad we did. Staying at Colibri Lodge was really comfortable, and the itinerary meant we didn’t have to rush lunch and actually had time to relax and enjoy the pool at the oasis. It’s definitely a challenging hike, but so is the traditional route! So we’d absolutely recommend considering this version instead. And if you can, ask for Marcello!

    Top Tour! Do it.

    Awesome tour in the canyon with friendly local guide. Track is fine/good to hike, but intermediate fitness recommended. It was a nice experience with plenty to learn about the local culture, plants and life in the canyon. Definetly worth the money.

    2 Days off Beaten Path

    My friend and I chose the Colca Trek 2 days off the beaten path option, we were very happy. It was an amazing experience. Our guide Marcelo and driver Edgar were very helpful and kind. (y) We absolutely recommend this option as It offers the most authentic experiences with no tourists around which was very nice! :)

    2 day Colca Canyon

    We booked the 2 day, one night Colca Canyon tour through this company and were very happy! Marcelo was our guide and he was great. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience so enjoyable as we didn’t have to think or worry about anything. While we didn’t book a private tour, it ended up just being the two of us. We hiked it “backwards” - having lunch and swimming in the oasis and then staying at Calibri lodge. The food was good and the stars at night were stunning. It was a challenging trek but so worth it. We also loved all the “extras”- stopping to see the volcanos and hot springs. We’re so glad we did this and had Marcelo as our guide!

    Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $195 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 Trek - 2 Days Tour 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 Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour?

    +

    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 Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour 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 Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour?

    +

    Around 4 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 Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour 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 Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour?

    +

    Included: Walking Sticks; Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Drinks; Mules; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 35 listed pickup locations in and around Arequipa. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Colca Trek - 2 Days Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
