Spend 14 hours traveling from Arequipa to Colca Canyon with an English or Spanish-speaking guide such as Nelson or Angel. See condors at Cruz del Cóndor, enjoy breakfast and an Andean buffet, visit hot springs, alpacas, vicuñas, terraces, and mountain viewpoints.

Ride from Chivay to Puno in about 6.5 hours with a bilingual guide, four Andean sightseeing stops, mountain views, wildlife, snacks, water, and possible hotel drop-off in Puno’s historic center.

“The bus was comfortable and the guide was very nice. Once we arrived - a transfer to our hotel was included so that was very handy.
