Colca beautiful landscapes - Beautiful place to visit and take incredible photographs, I recommend going well dressed since when you arrive in Chivay it is very cold, although during the morning the sun rises strongly, but even so you have to be careful. The attention from when they picked us up at the Hotel was the best, I loved that when we arrived for breakfast in Chivay they welcomed us with a couple of dancers, it was very nice. Upon reaching the Colca Valley viewpoint we could see a large number of condors flying over and one of them even flew over us.

Warm and a great experience with Liberty Peru tourism - I got to know Liberty Peru tourism through TikTok and I got in touch as soon as I arrived in Arequipa, they have given me the best tours, the super qualified guides, they speak English, Spanish, they also help you with taking photos and are always attentive Make sure you are well on the tour, their drivers and mobility make the tour perfect. For my part, I had fun and they offered me everything and just as it was described in their tourist packages. Would I choose this tourism agency again? Absolutely yes I can't wait to return to this beautiful place in Arequipa again and purchase your Liberty Peru tourism packages again.

Long but great day. - This was a very packed day with lots to see. Be well rested beforehand! The only part that felt incomplete was I wish there were more time at hot springs.

Could be better - Well, the things we saw were overall quite nice, the landscapes were super impressive. We could see Condors, Llamas, Alpacas and Vicuñas. However at the day before the tour they promised us to pick us up first, they ended up pickung us up last and we had to share the last row of the bus with a family that brought their less than 2 years old baby. The baby was crying and screaming all day long(understandable). I don't really understand why the company allows little babies on a 15 hour bus tour?! These incidents made it less enjoyable for us.
