Hikes in Provincia de Provincia de Caylloma

The hike through the Colca Canyon is probably the best way to explore Peru's second deepest canyon. During this trek you get an impressive view of the scenery of the Peruvian Andes. In addition, you can admire the ancient Inca terraces that were built to grow crops.

The route is very old, go back 200 years. Never been used. you can't find this route anywhere, it's from the Incas. Very beautiful, not to heavy to walk. Out of 10> 7. 3,21 hour is not correct, its 6 /7 hours walking down.

A three day loop starting and finishing at Cabanaconde. Camp sites are listed with the camp icon.Cost is 5 soles per night camping!

Trek de 3 jours permettant de faire decouvrir un des canyons les plus profonds du monde!

This is a bit larger and in reverse route the tourist guides do. Starting in Cabanaconde where you can get by bus from the terminal terrestre in Arequipa. In my opinion it's easier because you go down the steeper part and go up the plainer part (what not means that it isn't steep). Staying the night can be done in San Juan. You get a plan with bus depatures at the arrival in Cabanaconde. There you have to pay inoffical taxes (as far as I remember 50-80 soles for foreigners). It's highly recommended to wear trekking shoes and bring enough water (6L per person for two days). The way is hard and water is expensive.
