Colca Canyon Trek 2 Days from Arequipa is a challenging and rewarding hiking adventure designed for travelers who want to explore the canyon beyond the traditional viewpoints. This itinerary combines spectacular Andean landscapes, local communities, the famous Cruz del Cóndor, the green oasis of Sangalle, and the opportunity to experience one of southern Peru’s most impressive trekking routes. On the first day, you will descend deep into Colca Canyon, hiking for approximately 7 hours through a combination of downhill and uphill sections, with time to rest and enjoy lunch along the route. As you move through the canyon, you will pass small local communities, experience the changing landscape, and learn more about traditional life in this remote part of the Colca Valley.
One of the main highlights is reaching Sangalle Oasis, a lush area at the bottom of the canyon where you can relax after a demanding day of hiking. The oasis is known for its natural setting and pools, providing the perfect place to recover before the final climb the following morning. On Day 2, the trek begins very early with an approximately 3-hour uphill hike from the bottom of the canyon back toward the upper valley. This section is physically demanding but highly rewarding, offering impressive views as you climb out of the canyon.
The experience also includes the opportunity to observe the majestic Andean condor flying over the Colca Canyon, relax in the Yanque hot springs, and enjoy traditional Peruvian cuisine in Chivay before returning to Arequipa. The Colca Canyon Trek 2 Days is ideal for travelers with some hiking experience and a good level of fitness who want a more active and immersive way to discover the Colca region.
