Informative guide in English and Spanish, lots of stops in Colca Valley, llamas, Alpacas, vicuñas and condors!

Two day, one night trip from Arequipa. Punctual pickup from hotel in modern 12 seater van. Excellent guide Victor Hugo. The group of 10 was a mixture of Spanish, Peruvians, Canadians and French. Lots of stops to see llamas, vicuñas and alpacas. Buffet lunches good. Optional stop at sulfar springs in Yanque good even in the drizzle. Lovely and warm pools. Optional Evening meal with a dance show was fun. You need to book your own hotel in Chivay. We were lucky with a beautiful day on 6th February and we saw some beautiful Condors. We were very lucky to see Condirs and to have such beautiful weather for early February.

Magnificent trip. Peru is a country with a fascinating past.

The natural landscapes, the architecture of Arequipa and Cuzco, the archaeological treasures, the gastronomy, the people... It was an exceptional experience. We recommend Fertur as a travel agency for its concern and professionalism. Bravo!

Do it

This was a wonderful excursion, and Ruth was a fabulous guide. We were lucky to see different wildlife on our trip: vicunas, flamingos, mountain parakeets, condors, and more. Ruth knew that I liked birds so she made a special effort to point out different varieties to me. We were lucky to see several condors at Cruz del Condor viewpoint. We also had a great tour group that made the excursion extra fun. The Colca Valley and Canyon are beautiful and peaceful. You should do this trip!

The tour guide was very...

The tour guide was very attentive and went out of his way to answer questions. BEWARE the web site does not specify where to rent the hotel and I ended up paying for two bookings.
