Early morning, take a 45-minute drive to the magnificent “Cruz del Condor” view point. See the Colca Canyon, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, which forms part of a tremendous volcanic mountain range more than 100km (62 miles) long. Marvel at seeing the majestic, giant condors with massive wingspans soaring overhead along the river. Visit the quaint towns to admire the perfectly preserved colonial churches, artisan stalls and must stop lookout points before arriving to Chivay for lunch. In the early afternoon, head back to so-called “White City” of Arequipa (if a flight is planned later that day, we may need to plan this day otherwise and include a box lunch).
Please allow approximately eight hours for the entire experience.
