Exceptional Service and an Outstanding Guide, Marcelo!
We had an excellent experience with Perou Voyage on our private Colca Canyon tour! The quality of the service was outstanding from beginning to end. Our guide, Marcelo, was exceptional: attentive, friendly, and passionate about his work. His extensive knowledge of the region, its history, culture, and wildlife made the experience even more enriching. He took the time to explain everything and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the journey. We truly appreciated his professionalism and personal attention. We highly recommend Perou Voyage and especially Marcelo for an unforgettable experience in Colca Canyon!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 😊 We’re delighted to know that you enjoyed your time in Peru and that our team helped make your trip special. It was a real pleasure to be part of your journey. Your kind words mean a lot to us and encourage us to continue sharing the beauty of our country with travelers from all over the world. We hope to welcome you back to Peru someday for more wonderful adventures!

Guided Tour of Colca Canyon
What a fantastic tour, from booking and communication to the pick-up and the tour; our guide Honorio was a fantastic guide and Juan a brilliant driver. We learnt so much, got to see condors, and just had a wonderful experience. Would thoroughly recommend the tour
via Tripadvisor
Excellent day trip
Communication was excellent as we were prepared for the early morning start and knew everything to bring. The vehicle was comfortable and we were able to sleep some on the dark drive to the canyon. Breakfast was at daybreak in a small local restaurant. It was simple yet good food and authentic. Next was the canyon. It is breathtaking and the condors are out early making the early start worth it. Then there is a visit to a small local town with opportunities to buy souvenirs. Then a trip to the hot springs which were wonderful. The buffet lunch before you go back was a little disappointing. Overall, it was a great tour. Our guide was great, both informative yet chill.

Magic with the condors
We came to see the condors and were not disappointed! Our guide, Ivan, was wonderful! He made the experience magical, especially playing a couple of songs on his flute. He was particularly attentive, as I had a bad stomach and he stopped a number of times to let me take care of things.

Good tour oprrator in Peru
Very good tour operator in Peru. We took a private 1-day tour to Colca Canyon.From the very beginning the communication in whatsup was effecient and quick. All our questions were answered in full. On the day of the tour our driver Anjel and guide Onorio were at the hotel on time. Onorio coordinated our trip perfectly. He took the very best location to see condors and provided us with all facts. Toilets were very clean. Buffet lunch was unexpectedely delicious and great variaty. It was amazing day for us!

Private Colca Full-Day Tour from Arequipa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.
How much does Private Colca Full-Day Tour from Arequipa cost?
+
Prices start at $193 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 Colca Full-Day Tour from Arequipa take?
+
Plan for about 13 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 Colca Full-Day Tour from Arequipa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Private Colca Full-Day Tour from Arequipa?
+
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 Private Colca Full-Day Tour from Arequipa suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Colca Full-Day Tour 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 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Colca Full-Day Tour 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.
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 Private Colca Full-Day Tour from Arequipa?
+
Included: Hotel drop-off; Lunch; Professional guide; Hotel pickup; and Breakfast. Not included: Drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Colca Full-Day Tour from Arequipa include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 126 listed pickup locations in and around Arequipa. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Colca Full-Day Tour from Arequipa offered in?
+
It runs in English. 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 Private Colca Full-Day Tour from Arequipa?
