Book 2-Day Colca Private ExcursionA 1-day shared group tour from Arequipa forces travelers to wake up at 02:45 AM and spend 14 exhausting hours crammed inside a 30-passenger bus. Our 2-day private service departs at a civil 08:30 AM, crosses the 4,910m Patapampa volcanic pass at an altitude-conscious pace with medical oxygen, overnights comfortably in Chivay or Yanque, and reaches Cruz del Cóndor ahead of the noisy mass tour buses.
Operating a 2-day expedition across 320 kilometers of high-altitude mountain terrain requires chartering a modern private vehicle, a dedicated professional chauffeur, and a collegiate DIRCETUR-licensed guide, covering vehicle fuel and overnight staff lodging. Quoting $290 USD per person based on a minimum of 2 travelers ($580 USD total per couple) ensures complete operational safety with zero hidden costs. For groups of 3 to 4 guests, the rate drops to $210 USD per person.
Your private chauffeur stops at leisure inside the Salinas y Aguada Blanca National Reserve at Pampa Cañahuas. You will observe wild herds of vicuñas (the golden wild camelid whose wool was reserved for Incan royalty), domesticated llamas, alpacas, and vizcachas (Andean mountain chinchillas), with telescopic lenses and photo assistance from your guide.
