We had an amazing time with our guide Nohe. The trek is difficult, especially the 2nd day with a 1000 m elevation hike (for about 3.5 km), but it was completely worth it. The hike is beautiful and a real highlight of our trip. Nohe made sure everyone was okay at every step, respecting our rythme and needs of break. He taught us a lot about local fruits and plants along the way. There's also a lot of activities during this tour : we were lucky to see numerous condor the first day at the Mirador Cruz del Condor, and the hot springs are worth it on the second day after the ascension of the canyon.
Amazing tour in the Colca Canyon and amazing companions. Our guide Nohe was the best. Super recommended.
Very good experience, very well organized. Our guide "Nohe" was incredible with everyone: very professional, attentive, and kind! The entire experience is quite well organized and the meals are good. The only thing to improve would be the transportation... the mini-bus and the bus we used were not very comfortable... they were super crowded and we had very little space, which slightly detracts from the experience when you have about 10 hours of bus in 2 days.
The trekking was quite challenging, but amazing views! Shout out to Nohe, who was an amazing guide through the whole trip’
We had a great experience with Nohe; he was very attentive and, among other things, gave us a masterclass on medicinal plants.
A highly recommended experience. The guide Nohe helped us during the route and gave us good advice. A highly recommended trek to enjoy the valley and the canyon.
One point less since the lodge was a bit outdated. We really enjoyed our guide Eric, who was amazing and encouraging. He provided us with a lot of information about the region and also plant life. The hike itself was quite hard.
The 2-day Colca Canyon tour was a great experience. Our guide JC was excellent – very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable. The food was good, and the accommodation was comfortable and well organized. Ending the tour with the thermal baths was the perfect finish and made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this tour.
The tour was phenomenal! Action packed for 2 days and our guide JC ( Jean Carlos) was the absolute best. Too guy. Can highly recommend!
Best experience ever. Hard but beautiful trekking with the best guide I could ever ask for. Thank you JC for pushing me and making me finish this hard trek! Good energy, good vibes, perfect views and the best company. Totally recommend it!
