Luxury Travel to Colca Canyon
Magnificent cliffs, a paradise of wild nature
Collca Canyon, in the Arequipa region of southern Peru, has depths twice those of The Grand Canyon.
The terrain of this Andean valley consists of volcanoes and verdant sceneries. Though the Spanish colonized the area centuries ago, the indigenous people have managed to preserve their rich cultural traditions. It will feel like you've stepped into another era as you make your way into the valley. The valley is surrounded by a wall of sharp, snow-capped mountains, and from the riverbanks emerge a patchwork of traditional settlements and historic Inca terraces.
A visit to the Colca Canyon is a memorable stop on any luxury Peru tour.
Travel to Colca Canyon
Fortunately, the Andean Condor still lives in the Colca Canyon and can be spotted hunting in the mornings and late afternoons. Not only are there fantastic hiking paths in the region, but there are also tours to nearby communities, Incan ruins, and natural hot springs.
