4.From Arequipa Trek : 2-Days of Hiking in the Colca Canyon

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · 2 days · from $21Best value

You’ll hike from San Miguel into Colca Canyon, eat lunch with a local family, sleep at Sangalle Oasis, then climb before sunrise. An English or Spanish guide leads groups of up to 18. The $21 booking price requires an additional $90 cash payment for meals, lodging, and entry fees.

“The sites are amazing. The trek is a challenge that I really enjoyed. There were times when communication could've been better. Our guide was ahead when a group member fell and needed assistance, fortunately the group had supplies and helped. Partially the hikers fault for underestimating the trek and wearing poor shoes. I think there should either be an endurance test or great emphasis on the needs of each person and their physical health.”
