    Terrible service

    Review Phaway Viajes Peru We are giving Phaway Viajes Peru 1 star because we are unable to give them 0 stars. On October 4, 2024, we made a reservation for 2 people for the Downhill Tour Mountain bike in Arequipa (Misti Volcano). The service provider for this tour is Phaway Viajes Peru. We were originally booked for 8 am, which was indicated in our tickets. Issue #1 We received a call the night before from Jackie, the tour guide, who mentioned the pickup time was 5:50 am instead. We ended up accepting the time change; i.e.; to meet them at 5:50 am. Issue #2 We went to La Plaza de Armas as agreed and they didn’t show up. We called them while waiting at the Plaza, and they didn’t even respond our calls. Issue #3 Following that, they ignored our calls; hence, we had to call the Tourist Police in Arequipa who contacted them and only then, they agreed to return our money. It’s amazing how companies like this can stay in business in Arequipa. I would recommend to stay away from this supplier.

    A very fun time!

    This was a very fun experience. We enjoyed the scenic views and biking down the side of the mountain. My teenage sons loved the experience! The only negative was that the gravel road we were biking on was very bumpy, which made for sore hands and wrists during the ride. Still, we would certainly do it again if we had the chance, and I would recommend the trip to my friends!

    Very nice experience!

    Jack was an outstanding guide! He was patient with us as we got used to the bikes and the terrain. He planned for a possible puncture (which occurred) and had a replacement bike ready. He was flexible with our itinerary and took us to Salinas for a reasonable extra charge. The ride was enjoyable on a well-maintained dirt road with very little vehicular traffic. The scenery was pretty.

    All downhill from registration

    The e périr ce was fun but a lot about the organization left much to be desired: our height and head size was not communicated to the your organizer Tito; Tito was 2hr late at the meeting point, the bikes were outdated and in a poor state of maintenance (shocks were completely worn out) and no safety gear was available: no helmet or pads. The experience was not at the level that we expected. Tito is a nice guy but the prestation was lacking.

    Awesome ride!

    I had an awesome time on this ride! The guide was really friendly and even offered us some snacks along the ride. Most of the trip was down a windy dirt road down Chachani volcano, with incredible views of the surrounding mountains and Arequipa below. The guide took us on a couple routes off-road as well. A great way to spend the day if you are an experienced mountain biker or a beginner like me! Thanks for the fun adventure!

    Downhill Tour - Mountain Bike in Arequipa: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Downhill Tour - Mountain Bike in Arequipa cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 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 Downhill Tour - Mountain Bike in Arequipa take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Downhill Tour - Mountain Bike in Arequipa worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 5 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 Downhill Tour - Mountain Bike in 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 Downhill Tour - Mountain Bike in Arequipa suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Downhill Tour - Mountain Bike in Arequipa?

    +

    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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Downhill Tour - Mountain Bike in 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 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 Downhill Tour - Mountain Bike in Arequipa?

    +

    Included: First aid kit; Mountain biking equipment (Bicycles, gloves, helmets, knee and elbow pads); Guides - Instructor in Downhill; and 4x4 transfer transport. Not included: Photo service (optional - additional cost); and Meals not mentioned. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
