“We really enjoyed this hike and our guide, Pablo, was wonderful and very helpful. We were the only ones on the trail which made this feel like we were being shown and unknown locals-only type trail. We walked in our hiking shoes through the river which was unique and pretty fun (be sure to pack some sandals for after!). Pablo did the hike in Tivas/Chacos with a strap, so you've got some options when it comes to footwear. Also, be such to bring sunscreen and bug spray!

“Great experience, the colca canyon offers a fantastic scenery. We saw some condors along the way, too. The hike is quite challenging, especially on the second day - it's going 1200 altitude meters up. Planning was good, everything was taken care of, for example the transport of our luggage and the transfer to Puno (we had to change busses). The included food was okay, but not great. Same for the accomodation: Oasis ecolodge was a little shabby. But for one night it was ok.”

“Tolle Hiking Tour mit erfahrenen Guide der gute Tipps gegeben hat.

Ein Hinweis auf Walking- Stöcke und vor allem eine Stirnlampe um am nächsten Morgen im Dunkeln den Berg hoch zu klettern, wären wichtig gewesen!”

He then told me that he liked me and gave me a hug while I was basically in my underwear. If this hadn’t happened it would’ve been the best experience!”
