A good experience. It's very worth it... IMPERDIBLE!!!!! - One of the best experiences in Peru. We left Arequipa very early (2:00 a.m.). The route is very cold and so prepare. Clothing for intense cold (near 3-5 degrees) and mad altitude in the middle of the way (4,800 meters). The viewpoint, from where we took pictures is very cool and the Vale del Colca is something spectacular, one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Day to Colca - This was a very busy tour with some breaks put in. We saw a lot during the day so was very good value. The tour guide Maria made it particularly special with good stories.

Thanks Andrea!! - The Guide was very nice and attentive, foresaw the congestion of other tourists to always take us in front and on time. I expected a little more walking, but it was still a good experience, we were lucky to see the condors!!

Nice trip with guide Nelson - The tour was nice, our guide Nelson and our driver Alex was very nice. The tour is definitely recommended. A small downside is that on the way back, in our opinion, some unnecessary stops (e.g. canoe, zip line, hot springs) were made. We would have preferred to spend the time at the canyon.

False Advertisement - If you are into getting a full cultural experience then this excursion is what you are looking for. We expected to go to a restaurant for an included breakfast and lunch but we ended up going to a person's home on a farm where they served cold scrambled eggs and two pieces of dry bread. Then for lunch, we went to another person's home for a home-cooked meal which was 35 or 45 Sols a plate. We were rushed through one of the most important stops, the Condors, and missed the close-up flight of the Condors. Then we were told at the hot springs to get in and out in 40 minutes and the driver was late by 30 minutes. We spent more time at the last stop which was this person's farm home for lunch, not a restaurant, than we did on the most important stops. We were late getting in at 7:30 pm. Yes, we started at 3:00 am and ended at 7:30 pm. This also was not advertised therefore we did not know what we were getting into. The ride was bumpy, the inside of the bus was very tight and the seats were very uncomfortable for such a long tour. My advise is to be truthful with the itinerary and let the consumer decide.
