Colca Canyon Hotels

The journey from Arequipa to Colca Canyon is spectacular, passing the mighty volcanoes that overlook Arequipa to the Altiplano and through a natural Vicuña reserve. Vicuña are the smallest of the South American cameloids and their fibre is one of the finest in the world. Your journey then takes you over a high pass of over 5000m before dropping down towards the Colca Valley. Here the scenery changes into fertile agricultural land that makes for a colourful patchwork landscape stretching out before you as you arrive into the small town of Chivay. There are many natural hot springs in the area, the main public ones being a pleasant walk from the town. Some of the hotels mentioned below have their own private ones.

You will have an early start to visit Cruz del Condor which overlooks the Colca Canyon, said to be one of the deepest canyons in the world. Here, along the sheer cliff faces the condors nest, waiting for the thermals every morning so that they can rise high above the mountains and go off in search of food. The archetypal image of a condor soaring above the mountains is sure to be one of the highlights of your trip to Peru.
