“I booked a two-day tour to the Colca Canyon from Arequipa, which includes an overnight stay in Chivay. The whole experience was fantastic. Obviously the canyon is 100% worth visiting, but booking with Enrique and Mystery Peru made it even better. Their Colca package was well organized, and guide we had was great.”
Paul H. / England
I just loved the the car journey of our private tour over the altiplano to Colca Valley. Getting to the highest point of up to around 13,000 feet above sea level having to take coca tea, coca candies and aspirin to help alleviate the altitude sickness! Then going down into the Colca Valley to the Colca Canyon and the lovely villages of Chivay, Maca, Yanque and others..”
