Do it - This was a wonderful excursion, and Ruth was a fabulous guide. We were lucky to see different wildlife on our trip: vicunas, flamingos, mountain parakeets, condors, and more. Ruth knew that I liked birds so she made a special effort to point out different varieties to me. We were lucky to see several condors at Cruz del Condor viewpoint. We also had a great tour group that made the excursion extra fun. The Colca Valley and Canyon are beautiful and peaceful. You should do this trip!

Both of the lunch stops were very high quality. We also saw lots of vicunas and condors - we were lucky the day was so sunny and clear for the condors. Although the altitude change was a bit difficult at times, Jeannette always checked on us and made sure we were ok to keep going. We also had a stop during the drive for Inka or Coca tea, which was very appreciated. Would definitely recommend this for anyone looking to tour the canyon in comfort! I also recommend staying at the Colca Lodge Hotel and Spa overnight - it's out of Yanque a bit, but the atmosphere and services were second to none. I wish I could have stayed there another night, in fact!</p>

The resort we stayed , the Colca Canyon Lodge, was beautiful , it had a great staff , and the hot springs were the bests we have been.</p>

We learned a lot about every aspect of this area and about Peruvian culture in general.The travelling is extensive and the roads often bumpy we were in the rainy season which meant that a certain amount of stamina was required but it was a wonderful trip and we did see some condors!</p>

Magnificent trip. Peru is a country with a fascinating past. - The natural landscapes, the architecture of Arequipa and Cuzco, the archaeological treasures, the gastronomy, the people... It was an exceptional experience. We recommend Fertur as a travel agency for its concern and professionalism. Bravo!

Reconfirmation call - After arrival at the hotel, I called the designated phone No. according to your instruction in the voucher.However, automatic message in Spanish was received and could not understand any thing.Then asked a hotel reception to tell my arrival and reconfirmation.For a English speaking traveler, impossible to understand telephone communication in Spanish. Re-confirmation should be not trough a phone but trough e-mail.Other things during the tour are very good, managed correctly and punctually, and I had a friendly tour guide.
