The Colca Valley is an area of astounding scenic beauty, with giant Andean terraces and a deep canyon that reaches a depth of 3140 meters. The Colca Canyon tour will take you through high Andean plateaus, reaching at one point a high pass of 4800 meters, which offers fine views of the Volcanoes of Arequipa.
Along the way visitors can see herds of Vicuñas (a wild relative of Llamas and Alpacas) and various types of birds, of which stand out the giant hummingbird, eagles, gooses and the mighty Andean Condor.
