The town of Chivay is located in southern Peru. This popular destination is one of the most accessible within the world-renowned trekking area of Canon del Colca (the Colca Canyon), and offers some excellent cultural sights and outdoor activities. Begin at the stone Inca Bridge, which spans the Colca Ravine, and then visit the attractive Temple Santiago Apostol de Coporaque, before relaxing in the cafe-lined Plaza de Armas de Chivay. Nature lovers will relish the Astronomical Observatory, with brilliant views of the Milky Way available in the pollution-free valley, as well as the Andean condor-spotting area of Cruz del Condor. Finally, Hot Springs La Calera offers rejuvenating waters and a range of spa treatments, and further expeditions into the Colca Canyon (such as Tuti, Sibay and Callalli) are easily arranged from Chivay.
