Ventura is a charming coastal town with beautiful beaches, a lively harbor, and great local dining. Perfect for a relaxing 3-day getaway. Don't miss Channel Islands trips, downtown shops, and sunset views. Highly recommend for couples or families.
We went on this trip not yet knowing what to expect, what this trip was amazing! Raoul is the best guide and he make you feel like real family. This trip went so much further than a regular trail. We created real friendship bonds and learned from each other’s cultures while experiencing beautiful nature. I will miss this experience so much and I recommend everybody to book a trail with ventura travel. Driver and families down the canyon were amazing. Please if you want to trek down the canyon instead 3am book your trip here they start at 7 am! Or else it won’t be the same. Amazing experience!
Dear Claudia We are happy to read your comment, the way how you enjoy each momments in the canyon with guide, families and people who life there. Muchas gracias
We decided to take the 3 days tour since we wanted to enjoyed and take it easy. It was worth every penny! Raul was easy to contact and very clear in the communication, we were a group of 3 and Christian, our guide, took care of us beyond I expected but making it fun and adventurous. We did amazing hikings combined with lovelies baths at the Oasis and the thermal pools. And we saw many condors! The food was excellent all the time and the driver was really professional. Thanks guys for this great time!
Dear Sir Thank you very much for your comments it help very much to keep motivate and hardly positive working everyday! Thank Greets from Ventura travel team
We did the 3 day Colca Canyon hike. Raul came to our hotel the day before to explain the itinerary to us and advise us on what to pack, which we really appreciated. The next day we were picked up from our hotel by our driver Armando and our guide Christian. Both were great. Christian was amazing - he knew everything about the local area, let us set the pace for the hiking, and was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. The trek itself was great, the scenery was beautiful, the accommodation and food were really good, and we enjoyed the chance to relax in the pool at the bottom of the canyon and the next day in the hot springs. Would really highly recommend!
Some dude called us up 9am the day before our $700 3 day trip to Colca Canyon to inform us, that because trip advisor doesn’t pay them quickly enough (viator), they would be cancelling on us. This guys called directly to our hotel room and very creepily said that he would just in a cab that moment because he had to speak with us in person about something secret?! What?!? After pushing him on this a bit, he finally admitted that he had already cancelled our trip, and wanted to tell us is person... to soften the blow? Crazy. Stay away from these criminals. They ruined our time in Arequipa.
Dear Alisson First: You did you the tour 2 days in advance, We understand maybe was our mistake of not adding the advance booking time, 2 days in advance hight season make us dificult to find tour guides and transportation, becuase everything is already organize in advance more than 2 days. Becuase We know your hotel in arequipa and l think for education and profesional is to talk personal, to chat and to fid the problem if is posible, because by phone is not correct but you and your boyfriend dont want to chat personaly and repit all the time by phone by phone and l still insisting please let me go to your hotel.by phone all word can be not taking very well, never chat with you about l am in a cab or chat in secred. call you 9 am wich was ok for us early and aboit problems, calll your hotel and they comuncate with your room, all your word that says meny things about you!! and your start being rude and screaming with not patiente. l tell you please, We are not screaming to you and we are talking with respet and you still screaming and just left. Wich wasnt correct we think. One more time in live everything is possible and things can be fix apologize for the situation for you. Ofcource your comment is not good for our company and team, but as a mention everyting is posible in life, we will keep going doing very well our jod as we do with all people who review us very well. everything you say about us criminals and more is exactly the happen talking by phone, us you like maybe doing it and fixing your problems, But we do not want to do it, if you have the chance to see and talk with the person better to do it.! You venever did a tour with us, You can not comment and get the experiences with us. have a good time and save travel! it is a pitty to have people like you with not pattiend and living ungry your life!
We did our trek with Christian and it was a wonderful experience. We learned a lot about the canyon, the inhabitants and the Peruvian culture in general. The trek is not too hard (18 km, the hardest part is the last day). We had time to relax and enjoy the swimming pool at the oasis and the view (and the hot spring last day). The trek is expensive but worth it. We were only the two of us so we could choose the rythme of the journey. We had a nice driver and a kind guide. We did not pay anything more except the drinks (water and others if wanted). It was all inclusive. Nice experience for us ! You should do it ! Anne and Andrea
It was very well organized and carried over tour. Our guide Remy was extremely friendly person with wonderful attitude to kids and very wide knowledge about the canyon but also broad knowledge about Inca and Quechua culture and heritage. It was really amazing time in real nature, the accomodation was really nice and cosy, although basic. Our children rated this trip highest among all trips and tours done during our almost 4 weeks round tour in Peru and Bolivia so you must have made really good impression on them :) Well done. Thank you very much Remy again for wonderful experience of Peru and Colca canyon !!!!
This is a fantastic trip highly recommended, our guide Christian was excellent ensuring that everything was well organised and that we could trek comfortably at our own pace. We had a great time , thanks again Christian.
Our guide Omar is very nice and help us a lot. During these three days, we had a very good time. Unforgettable experience!
Review is for the 3 day trek. An authentic, local, well planned tour that combines a bit of hiking (nothing too hard in our opinion if you are generally fit) and leisure time. positive: + small group (we were actually only 2 plus 1 guide and 1 driver) + luxurious Toyota jeep + great selection of restaurants and lodge/accommodation (no big groups there) + Great food! + all expenses included (even park entrance fee, etcetc) negative: - nothing :o) - note: tour has its price, but definitely worth it! special thanks to Carlos, our tour guide. He is a funny guy, very knowledgeable and has a desire to make your trip an experience you’ll not forget :-)
