3 Days: Arequipa Extension Tour

Day 1: AREQUIPA
Upon arrival in Arequipa airport, transfer to selected hotel. Afternoon city tour. The tour starts with the visit to the Santa Catalina Monastery, a city within the city, founded at the end of XVII century and only opened to the public few years ago. The city tour also includes the Main Plaza or Plaza de Armas, the Cathedral (closed on Sundays), the Jesuit Cloister and the residential areas of Cayma and Yanahuara to end at the "Mirador de Yanahuara" for a superb view of the volcanoes (Private services).

Overnight

Day 2: AREQUIPA / COLCA
Breakfast
Departure for a two days package to Colca Valley (Private services). This tour is impressive not just due to the beautiful you can appreciate, but also due to the cultural symbiosis of the ancient Andean cultures and the Catholic religion introduced by the Spanish. In the early morning we’ll leave Arequipa and head towards the valley.

On our way we’ll pass Yura, Pampa de Arrieros, Pampa Cañahuas (where we’ll find the Vicuna National Reserve of Aguada Blanca), Vizcachani and Tojra (all the year we can see here a variety of migratory birds resting in so called "bofedales", a sort of peat bog). Entering the Colca canyon we’ll arrive at its most important town, Chivay where we’ll also have lunch.

Overnight

Day 3: COLCA / PUNO
Breakfast
Early in the morning, we’ll drive to the observation point "Cruz del Condor". While this is not the deepest point of the Canyon, you can appreciate the grandeur of the canyon and with a bit of luck, you might even spot an Andean condor, the largest flying bird in the world, soaring across the high plain.

Afterwards, transfer to Puno and drop off at your hotel (private vehicle only).
