Day 01

In the morning, fly to Arequipa. The group will reassemble for lunch and an afternoon city tour in Arequipa, the highlights visited include the tranquil Convento de Santa Catalinaand the museum of the Juanita mummy, one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in the last several decades, found high in the Andes by American anthropologist Dr. Johan Reinhard in 1995.

The mummy is of a young Incan girl sacrificed over 500 years ago, yet remarkably well-preserved due to the frigid mountain climate where she was found.

Day 02

Today we make our way to the Colca Canyon, one of the world’s deepest canyons and home to the Andean condor. En route, we pass beautiful lagoons formed by centuries of rock erosion and marvel at the spectacular pre-Columbian agricultural terracing lining the canyon walls, a technique that sustained the farmers living here in ancient times.

In the afternoon, we have time for a leisurely stroll through the market at Chivay, where typical regional crafts are displayed. Chivay is also known for its hot springs, which provide the relaxing conclusion to our day.

Day 03

The Colca Valley’s colonial-era towns, richly decorated churches and other historic structures, along with the traditional dress and customs of its peoples, make this region a culturally fascinating one.

During today’s tour of the valley, we stop at Cruz del Cóndor, a lookout point 3,938 feet above the river where one can appreciate the depth and scenic beauty of the Colca Canyon and observe at close range the impressive flight of the Andean condor.
