Overview

Let's immerse ourselves in it with all our senses; music, textiles, flavours, walks, admirable Andean nature, capricious volcanoes, fauna and flora, trying on typical costumes and much more.

During our trip we enjoyed impressive natural settings, whether crossing part of the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Park, observing the vicuñas, alpacas and llamas, admiring the colourful terraces combined with its mountains and gorges, or interacting with the local people of Colca.

Let us not forget that we are in the “kingdom of the Condor”; So additionally we will have the privilege of observing the spectacular flight of the Andean condor between the walls of the Colca Valley canyon.
