En primer lugar gracias a Luis Angel, nuestro guia y amigo y al Señor Julio, nuestro conductor. Luis Angel nos dió todas las indicaciones necesarias para que pasemos momentos inolvidables rodeados de paisajes mágicos. Siempre atento, disponible y dándonos todas las explicaciones de cada punto que visitamos. Gracias a sus consejos pudimos posicionarnos correctamente para disfrutar del vuelo de los cóndores y si no tienes vinoculares para apreciar el espectáculo, Luis Angel, te presta para que puedas vivir esta hermosa experiencia al máximo. Baños termales, puntos estratégicos para apreciar y tomar las mejores fotos del Cañon, buena comida y buen humor completan esta aventura inolvidable. Sin olvidar el Colca Sour, inconturnable antes de salir del Valle del Colca.mgirardi

El Colca es un río, un valle y un cajón ... maravillosos. Chivay, es el pueblo de donde parte la excursión cuenta con facilidades ( cajero, farmacia, etc), está a 4 hrs aprox, de Arequipa En el camino se ingresa al altiplano peruano, con su flora y fauna ( llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, vizcachas ). Los cóndores son majestuosos, un regalo de nuestra cordillera. El tour es bueno, muy puntual, buen vehículo. La guía, Milagros, es muy eficiente y simpática El tráfico a la salida y retorno: horrible La cena y espectáculos nocturnos: Malos, una pérdida de tiempo. A pesar de lo anterior me lo repito, sugiero ir a Callalli a ver sus castillos de viento, lo hicimos extra y vale un día o medio más.danberks99
