Arequipa & the Colca Canyon-3 Days/2 Nights-Superior |
|
|
From the depths of the Colca Canyon to the dazzling ‘white city’, Peruvian magic will pervade you!
| Overview | |
|
With graceful black and white condors circling far above, glance down into the awe-inspiring Colca Canyon. Twice as deep as the Grand Canyon at 3191 meters, its plunging depths will fascinate you. With terraced slopes used for agriculture, it reflects a uniquely Peruvian heritage and creates a startling contrast from the parched Altiplano (high plateau). Reminiscent of Peru’s indigenous people, the valley is home to the ancient ‘Cabanas’ and ‘Collaguas’ and its steep slopes are adorned with paintings and petroglyphs. Peru’s richly textured history will continue to bewitch you with its simplicity and magic in the city of Arequipa. Shadowed by the awe-inspiring volcano El Misti, it is ensconced between towering Andean peaks. History will dog your footsteps as you explore the ‘white city’, named after its dazzling buildings, and built from the volcanic rock ‘sillar’. Stroll along streets dotted with colonial mansions and intricate balconies as the indigenous style blends seamlessly with Spanish legacy. A visit to the 20,000 square meters Monastery of Santa Catalina is a particular highlight. As the tour winds to an end, Peru’s wild beauty and dynamic history will engulf you with its magic.
