COLCA CANYON
Located in the high Andes of southern Peru, Colca Canyon plunges to depths of over 3,400 meters (11,155 feet), making it one of the deepest canyons in the world. Surrounded by towering peaks, active volcanoes, and ancient agricultural terraces, the canyon is a paradise for lovers of hiking, trekking, and outdoor exploration.
Trekking through Colca Canyon is not only a test of endurance—due to its steep descents, high altitudes, and rugged trails—but also a rewarding immersion into remote landscapes where few venture. Multi-day adventures allow travelers to hike through dramatic geological formations, relax in natural hot springs, and witness the majestic flight of the Andean condor.
Whether you’re an experienced trekker or an adventurous traveler looking for a challenge off the beaten path, Colca Canyon delivers an authentic high-altitude adventure unlike any other in South America.
Hiking
Hiking is a popular outdoor activity involving long walks on trails or in nature, offering travelers a chance to explore beautiful landscapes and connect with the environment. While the term «hiking» is common in the United States and Canada, in other English-speaking countries like the UK and Ireland, «walking» is often used for all kinds of outdoor walks.
In South America, including Peru, hiking is a key way to experience the Andes, rainforests, and other stunning natural regions. Treks can range from short day hikes to multi-day adventures, suitable for all levels of fitness.
Hiking promotes physical health and mental well-being, and it’s a favorite choice for tourists wanting to discover the rich natural heritage and breathtaking scenery of Peru and the region.
