I would certainly repeat! - I've spent two super fun days with wonderful people. These days you can get an idea of what Colca Canyon looks like. Special mention to our Guide Ghersy, who has given us a very complete experience. The explanations were in English by the group, but any doubts were resolved in Spanish. It is attentive, knows the place, fauna and flora, generates good atmosphere in the group and has made this adventure even more enriching. I would certainly repeat.

Perfect 2 day trek through Colca Canyon - The 2 day trek through Colca Canyon with Peru Baby Llama was well organised from start to end and our guide Ghersy was professional, knowledgeable and fun. The food was great, including vegetarian options, and accomodation was comfortable. Also the price was great so would definitely recommended.

Very good experience - I would recommend it. The excursion is quite tough, and not light, but the views are breathtaking, the food copious and the accommodation right, with pool!

Excellent trek, moderate - Prepare for a trek challenge. You descend to the depths of the colca from 3200 to 1900 masl and the next day you climb to 3300. I recommend Ghersy, with him you'll be in good hands

Beautiful and challenging hike - The experience of the trip we loved. The pickup with the vans was well arranged, the vans are still quite cold in the morning so make sure something warm. The first breakfast is fine. At the canyon, you should be lucky with the Condors. Then the hike starts. Our guide had just returned from the hike a day earlier and looked tired. He tried to tell us something from time to time during the trip, but that was not always possible to follow. The guide was also very slow and often arrived last at an agreed point. It is nice that you do not have to walk together all the time as a group, but can walk ahead at your own pace. The first day is mainly down, hard on your knees, but fine to do. The sun is very bright, it is recommended to dress well against it. In the canyon itself you walk through the terraces and villages. Lunch is in a village and well arranged. They took good account of dietary needs there. Arriving at the accommodation we slept in tropical lodge. The sleeping places are not much, but you are tired enough to sleep well. The pool looks nice and is nice to cool off in. The evening food we found less. The next day up the mountain is hard but definitely worth it. Our guide said goodbye again after breakfast on top of the mountain and continued with the next group for a new trip. The thermal baths are very welcome and then it is quiet driving back to Arequipa with a few more stops where something can be seen. All in all well arranged, we wonder if the guides get enough rest between hikes.

Super - It was a very nice and varied tour. We booked the two-day tour with an overnight stay. On the first day we were able to enjoy the beautiful view in Colca Canyon. The descent to our lodge was thus always accompanied by highlights. After a good and carbohydrate-rich lunch we arrived in our lodge after about 2 hours. The lodge was kept very simple but the ambience on the river was very nice. We also mastered the climb the next morning well. Chersey our guide was super friendly and helpful. His English was also very good. We would definitely book the tour again.

We are very disappointed. - We took the Trekking tour to the Canyon with them but we were referred to another agency, even though Baby Lama claimed to be the operator but it was not true, a third-party mobility brings together several tourists from several agencies in one, the accommodation is called Trópico and not It belongs to Baby Lama, the guide we had was not theirs either, we felt cheated, if we had known that we would not have paid so much money for the same thing to the other agencies, other agencies offered us the same trekking 170 soles, with them we paid almost 250 soles per person for the same thing, everything the same without any difference, the food was basic and the cleanliness of the lodge leaves a lot to be desired, nothing clean, we are very disappointed.
