The Three-Day Trek is the most complete hiking experience offered by Casa de Guías for travelers seeking adventure, nature, and authentic cultural immersion.
Unlike traditional day tours, this expedition follows less-traveled routes through the Colca Canyon, allowing visitors to experience one of the deepest canyons on Earth in a peaceful and sustainable way.
The adventure begins with panoramic viewpoints overlooking the canyon, the Chila Mountain Range, and the legendary Andean Condor. Throughout the journey, you’ll hike ancient Qhapaq Ñan (Inca Trail) paths, visit remote villages, cross suspension bridges, discover impressive volcanic formations, and spend two unforgettable nights surrounded by nature.
You’ll enjoy delicious traditional meals prepared by local families, relax in the beautiful Sangalle Oasis, visit therapeutic hot springs, and travel through the Salinas & Aguada Blanca National Reserve before returning to Arequipa.
This experience combines adventure, history, geology, gastronomy, wildlife, and authentic community tourism in one unforgettable expedition.
