With the Colca Canyon Tour, you will enjoy the Valley of the Volcanoes, the region’s rich flora and fauna, and the breathtaking Colca Canyon. The Colca Valley is located in the northeastern part of the Arequipa region, at an altitude of 3,600 meters above sea level, near the Ampato and Sabancaya volcanoes. It is considered one of the deepest canyons in the world, reaching approximately 4,160 meters in depth. Blessed with privileged Andean vegetation due to its climate, it is one of the most extraordinary destinations in the country. Throughout the valley, you can see colorful pre-Inca terraces, and at the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint, you can witness the majestic flight of the Andean condors. At the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint, you will be able to admire the flight of the condor, a majestic and endangered bird that inhabits the canyon. The region’s diverse fauna allows travelers to spot animals such as alpacas, vicuñas, viscachas, foxes, pumas, eagles, hawks, and owls. You can experience all of this onthe Condor Flight Tour.

Muy recomendable

Nuestras experiencias con Leidy fueron increíbles, paseamos por lugares muy lindos, interesantes, y ella nos contó sus historias y curiosidades, con su toque de humor. Visitamos Chinchero, Maras y Machu Pichu. Todo el grupo la pasó genial, lo recomiendo de verdad.

Con mi grupo de estudiantes elegimos a Terra Quechua Peru

Con mi grupo de estudiantes elegimos a Terra Quechua Peru para nuestro viaje a Arequipa y el Cañón del Colca. Visitamos el Monasterio de Santa Catalina, disfrutamos de la vista del Misti y vimos cóndores sobrevolando el cañón. La organización fue impecable y aprendimos mucho sobre la cultura y geografía del Perú.

Tuvimos una experiencia inolvidable en el tour Inca Jungle con Terra Quechua

La combinación de actividades al aire libre, como el ciclismo de montaña, la caminata por la selva, el rafting y la tirolesa, fue perfecta para nosotros. Cada actividad estuvo bien planificada y ejecutada con un alto nivel de seguridad. Las vistas panorámicas y la biodiversidad de la selva nos dejaron asombrados.
