Condor viewing and so much more of ancient and natural Peru
The condors were incredible to see, but there was so much other great Peruvian ancient history and natural beauty to enjoy. Extremely professional tour arrangement - great sites from comfortable bus and horseback. Every bit done for our satisfaction. Highly recommended.

Incredible Part of Peru
Condors were the highlight, but the tour was so professionally done, and there was so much more ancient and impressive Peru to see from the comfortable bus and from horseback. Hot springs, hotel, and coordination were outstanding. Highly recommended.

Not satisfying
The tour wasn‘t as nice as expected. It is too expensive for what it was! The bus drive to Chivay was Okay although our guide Herman was not very enthousiastic as if he wouldn‘t really like to be there. When we arrived in Chivay, a local came to pick us up with the horse. The guide didn’t speak with us during the whole trip, he wouldn’t have given any information if we wouldnt have asked. His answers were always very short. Although we spoke in Spanish with him! The equipment for the riding was very uncomfortable. The trip to the Condor Cross was nice and we saw lots of them. The drive back to arequipa was horror! The driver Hector was very tired and I saw his eyes getting smaller and smaller in the mirror. As the road is very dangerous, I didn‘t feel safe at all. The guide fell asleep next to the driver. After I asked the driver to make a toilet break (not in order that I can pee but in order that he gets the break he definetley needed) But after the break, it wasn‘t better. I told our guide that I can see that the driver is tired and that it would maybe be a good idea to keep him awake. He laughed at me and told the driver 2 minutes later what I ve said (they didnt know I understand spanish!!) They laughed about me but the driver knew that I was right. He put some coca leaves in his mouth, put his glasses on and opened the window to stay awake...My critic is that he should have taken a break and the guide shouldn‘t sleep next to him but speak to him. It is his responsibility that his clients feel safe and..survive!! I wouldn‘t recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear customer We apologize for the bad times you had. German our tour guide is not what you think, maybe he has a serious face but he is very responsible and does his job very well. Hector our driver has small eyes and sometimes tends to blink and it is not what you think of them both are very good and have a lot of experience. However your comments are very important for to improve the service in general. We will continuing working to be better and provide a better service for the next customers. Warm regards, Gloria M

Excellent overnight tour, all around
Awesome tour of Colca Canyon and the Colca Valley. Our guide, Juan Carlos, was great, especially since we were the only English speakers in the group. He made sure to single us out and explain things that we might have missed in Spanish. Plus the sights and stops along the way were well-chosen... the horseback ride was beautiful... and the overnight stay in Chivay was nice as well.The food was mediocre at best (buffets, price not included, chosen by the tour company), but the rest of the tour more than made up for it. Transportation was on time and the pickup and drop-off were super close to our hotel in Arequipa. Overall, a great find!

Overnight Tour: Colca Canyon Including Horse Riding from Arequipa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.
How much does Overnight Tour: Colca Canyon Including Horse Riding from Arequipa cost?
+
Prices start at $167 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 Overnight Tour: Colca Canyon Including Horse Riding from Arequipa 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 Overnight Tour: Colca Canyon Including Horse Riding from Arequipa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 10 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 Overnight Tour: Colca Canyon Including Horse Riding from 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 Overnight Tour: Colca Canyon Including Horse Riding from Arequipa 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 Overnight Tour: Colca Canyon Including Horse Riding from Arequipa?
+
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 Overnight Tour: Colca Canyon Including Horse Riding from 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.

+
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?
+
