Experience of a Lifetime
What an incredible experience! Colca is a special place, with beautiful landscapes, its a privilege to be able to walk amoung the mountains. Santi is everything you want from a guide he's fun, knowledgeable, caring and with a high level of competency. He holds a really enriching ceremony in a sacred part of the conyon. This will stay with me forever. Thank you Santi. The lodge is perfect, nestled in the canyon with warm springs to sooth your muscles ofter a day's walking. What more could you ask for?! Go with an open heart and mind, and you will reap the rewards.

Everything it needed to be and more
What a wonderful unforgettable experience. There was with a group of 8 of us, and it was truly a gift to share this with people that I’ve grown to cherish. The views at Colca was one of the most humbling and empowering views I’ve ever seen in my life. All around is the magic of the mountains, all around is a sense of reverence and connectivity, and the animals you will meet along the way will center you deeper into your experience. Santi is a great guide and has years and years of experience with this trek to lean on. He also has a beautiful way of creating an atmosphere that is both fun and sacred and it seems like everything he touches has an element of magic in it. I definitely recommend him as a guide, and i recommend this experience. Hours of trekking with beautiful small ceremonies along the way. Beautiful chants and songs and moments to pray. And the thermal pools at the end of the day is a sensational plus. We also got to go to a climbing festival on the way back to town and rock climbed for some time. Which was a first for me. A very satisfy experience. Yes, the trek can be demanding of the body, but this is part of the medicine, to push to body and surpass the limits of the mind and to focus on the beauty of the journey. Muchas gracias :)

Best ever Colca Canyon experience
I did a tour with Santi round Colca canyon, and had an incredible time. The geography of the area is immense with fast landscapes and amazing views all round. We spent a full day hiking round the canyon in a circuit visiting a emense waterfall, and enjoying time to connect spirituality to this sacred valley.. Santi is a caring knowledgable and amazing guy who will give you an amazing tour of colca canyon he speaks both spanish and english for international visitors. The lodging was amazing and we enjoyed the hostprings they had on site, I stayed in there all night. Gracias Runachay tours for an amazing time..

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour 3 Days in the Colca Canyon with Andean Ceremony: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.
How much does Private Tour 3 Days in the Colca Canyon with Andean Ceremony cost?
+
Prices start at $180 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 Tour 3 Days in the Colca Canyon with Andean Ceremony 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 Tour 3 Days in the Colca Canyon with Andean Ceremony worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Tour 3 Days in the Colca Canyon with Andean Ceremony?
+
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 Tour 3 Days in the Colca Canyon with Andean Ceremony 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 Tour 3 Days in the Colca Canyon with Andean Ceremony?
+
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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour 3 Days in the Colca Canyon with Andean Ceremony 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.
