    Great hike away from the crowds

    I found this tour by accident, and I didn’t regret to book it. On the first and the last day, we saw a lot of people on the descent and ascent to and from the bottom of the canyon. But the rest of the time, we were alone in the nature. The 2nd day we hiked from the bottom of the canyon to the waterfall, which was quite challenging, as I was not yet completely adapted to the altitude. But it was worth it. The waterfall is beautiful, we were completely alone there and on top of it we saw some condors flying. Willmar was a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the area and its nature. And he organized some nice places to sleep (with also good food)

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the great review you left here. We are happy to know that this tour went beyond your expectations.

    Una gran experiencia con un gran guia. A great experience with a great guide.

    El pasado 3 e Julio comence mi trek de cuatro dias en el Cañon del Colca con Peru Breathtaking Trips. Semanas antes de comenzar mi trek habia contactacto via correo electronico desde los Estados Unidos a varias agencias de turismo de Arequipa, algunas de ellas no me contestaron y algunas lo hicieron demasiado tarde y con una informacion muy vaga. La unica persona que me respondio a tiempo y me dio una informacion detallada acerca del trek fue Wilmar de Peru Breathtaking Trips, Wilmar fue muy comunicativo y describio con detalles todo lo necesario para el trek. Una vez en Arequipa el trek comenzo sin ningun contratiempo, mi guia fue Vladimir, una gran persona con un gran conocimiento geologico de la zona y conocimientos de historia prehispanica y contemporanea de la region. Creo que la mejor manera de conocer el Cañon del Colca es haciendo el trek de cuatro dias ya que te llevan por caminos maravillosos hacia el pueblo de Llatica y a la gran catarata de Huaruro, lugares que no se visitan en un trek de dos o tres dias. Si quieren hacer este trek u otra excursion por los alrededores de Arequipa, les recomiendo grandemente Peru Breathtaking Trips, les aseguro que no los defraudaran y su visita les sera mas placentera. On July 3rd, I started my four-day trek in the Colca Canyon with Peru Breathtaking Trips. Weeks before starting my trek, I had contacted several tourist agencies in Arequipa via email from the United States, some did not answer me, and some did so too late and with very vague information. The only person who answered me on time and gave me detailed information about the trek was Wilmar from Peru Breathtaking Trips; Wilmar was very communicative and detailed everything necessary. Once in Arequipa, the trek began without any setbacks; my guide was Vladimir, a great person with great geological knowledge of the area and knowledge of the pre-Hispanic and contemporary history of the region. The four-day trek is the best way to get to know the Colca Canyon since they take you along wonderful paths to Llatica and the great Huaruro waterfall, which is not visited in a two- or three-day trek. If you want to do this trek or another excursion around Arequipa, I highly recommend Peru Breathtaking Trips; I assure you that you will not be disappointed and your visit will be more pleasant.

    Response from the operator: Es un gusto leer un review tan detallado y con traduccion al ingles. Ha sido relamente un placer atenderlo durante su visita a Arequipa y Cañon del Colca. Una vez mas gracias por este excelente comenatrio en Tripadvisor.

    Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $678 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 Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days take?

    +

    Plan for about 96 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 Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days?

    +

    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 Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days?

    +

    Around 1 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days 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 Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days?

    +

    Included: Hot Spring ticket; Dinner; Entrance ticket for Colca; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Lunch. Not included: Bottled water; Gratuities; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days include hotel pickup?

    +

    Is Huaruro Waterfall & Colca Canyon Trekking - 4 Days wheelchair or stroller accessible?
