    A lovely, but kinda though trek. 🏔

    Me and my girlfriend booked a Colca Trek through Sky Viares. ☀️ The service at the office in Arequipa was 6/5. The agent at the office spoke a perfectly clear English, and gave a very good service! We called the office at 6:55 (they would close at 19:00), and he stayed after hours to complete the booking. (After I forgot some important papers at the office, and had already taken the bus away from Arequipa, he alerted, and helped dispose of them.) The trek was both very good and at a competitive price. We stayed at a nice resort in the bottom of the Colca. 🛌 The food served was also very good, with the lunch on the 1. being a highlight. Served at a small “resort”, it was very authentic. The cherry on top was our group, that made the trek so memorable ✨ Overall a great experience, that I would highly recommend. 5/5

    Response from the operator: Reading comments like this makes our day very happy and motivates us to give the best service!! Thank you very much for traveling with us. I hope you have more amazing treks like this one in the rest of Peru. Best wishes :)

    Private Trekking to the Colca Canyon: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Trekking to the Colca Canyon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $199 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 Trekking to the Colca Canyon 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 Private Trekking to the Colca Canyon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 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 Trekking to the Colca Canyon?

    +

    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 Trekking to the Colca Canyon 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 Private Trekking to 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Trekking to 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.

    What is included in Private Trekking to the Colca Canyon?

    +

    Included: Bilingual guide in private service; Lunch; Dinner; Breakfast; and Blankets for the cold. Not included: BTC - Tourist entrance ticket to Colca; and Personal gear. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Trekking to the Colca Canyon include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 71 listed pickup locations in and around Arequipa. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Trekking to the Colca Canyon offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. 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 Trekking to the Colca Canyon?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Trekking to the Colca Canyon wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Trekking to the Colca Canyon if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
