Very disapointing
Payment was taken by Viator but no valid reservation was created. I eventually received a refund, but that does not compensate for the consequences during my trip in Peru. I lost two days reorganizing transport, accommodation and activities at the last minute because I relied on this booking. Customer support refunded the payment but completely refused to acknowledge the disruption caused. Very disappointing experience.

Colca canyon!
Colca canyon was on my list after Machu Picchu of course and I’m glad I was able to visit it. This time of the year is good because there is no rain but it can get a bit cold specially at night. Our group was small and our guide Miguel kept us entertained. I really recommend this place to anyone seeking for hiking in a beautiful area.

Breathtaking place!
The Colca canyon is just breathtaking. I had a fantastic time on this 2-day tour along with some fellow travelers and our wonderful guide Miguel. This tour is quite challenging since a lot of walk is involved. Make sure you are in a decent physical condition before joining this tour.
S
Great hike!
My friend and I had a great time hiking in the Colca canyon. We saw so much wildlife. The food was also a highlight, as you know Peru is famous for food and here we could tried authentic Peruvian food from the Andes. Highly recommended!
G
Perfect for Llama lovers!
Do you like llamas? You have to visit the Colca Canyon. Seeing so many llamas up close was definitely the highlight of this tour for me. This tour was fascinating and perfect for hiking enthusiasts. I was able to enjoy nature a lot, and in addition to seeing llamas, we were able to see other wildlife like condors and foxes.

Highly recommended!
It was my first trek in Peru, and it didn’t disappoint. The hike has some tough sections, but the views and atmosphere make up for everything. The pool at the lodge at the end of the first day felt like a reward after all the effort.

Awesome experience!
The Colca canyon is spectacular and the route lets you appreciate its vastness from different angles. The highlight for me was watching the condors soar at sunrise. This was an experience I’ll never forget.
M
Unforgettable
I did this amazing trek with friends, and it was an unforgettable adventure. I’d recommend bringing bottled water and being physically prepared. This trek is not easy but it is 100% worth it!
S
Wonderful activity
I thank Trek The Colca for a wonderful experience. Lisbeth, our Guide, was extremely patient and gave us time to appreciate the beauty of the canyon at our own pace. It was a journey I will always remember.
