Personalized family experience with unconventional stops
Excellent organization, we were able to have the time we wanted at each stop, highly recommended to share with your loved ones and get away from the hustle and bustle of the town of Chivay, the first night is in the town of Cabanaconde, a beautiful place to better appreciate the Canyon and visit the Juanita Mummy Museum. The guide was a young local who knew the Colca Valley very well, and he was also super friendly and attentive.
Response from the operator: Nos complace saber que disfrutaron de la organización del tour y que pudieron disfrutar del tiempo a su propio ritmo en cada parada. Cabanaconde es, sin duda, un lugar encantador para apreciar la belleza del Cañón del Colca y explorar el fascinante Museo de la Momia Juanita. Nos enorgullece contar con guías locales conocedores y amigables que pueden compartir su pasión por el valle del Colca y brindar una experiencia auténtica. Es estupendo saber que el guía fue atento y amigable, contribuyendo así a hacer que su experiencia sea aún más especial. ¡¡ Los esperamos,hasta pronto.!!

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 3-Day Hiking Tour of the Colca Canyon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.
How much does Private 3-Day Hiking Tour of the Colca Canyon cost?
+
Prices start at $690 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 Private 3-Day Hiking Tour of the Colca Canyon take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 Private 3-Day Hiking Tour of the Colca Canyon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 Private 3-Day Hiking Tour of the Colca Canyon?
+
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 Private 3-Day Hiking Tour of the Colca Canyon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 3-Day Hiking Tour of the Colca Canyon?
+
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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 3-Day Hiking Tour of the Colca Canyon 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.
