Departure from Peru
Set out to explore this ancient pre-Inca fortress which overlooks the entrance to the Colca Canyon. The climb is steep but rewarded by a superb view of the terraced fields of the Colca Valley and the start of the canyon. You may also spot condors away from the traditional tourist route.

This walk through the fields will allow you to discover rural life in the Colca Valley as well as its archaeological remains, with the added bonus of being able to enjoy its thermal springs. Crossing the Puente Sifón suspension bridge, 50 metres above the river, with its pre-Columbian tombs clinging to the cliff face, is undoubtedly the highlight of the hike.

Starting from the Cruz del Condor, this short hike takes you right along the edge of the Colca Canyon, where you can enjoy breathtaking views from a series of viewing points built along the trail. You’ll encounter few other people on this route, as most tourists stay at the Cruz del Condor.
