Adventure activities in Colca

Colca offers a variety of incomparable activities for those in search of adventure. 

 

First, there is the river, famous for its 300 rapids and for flowing through one of the deepest canyons on the planet (4 160 meters). The best-known route runs from the small town of Chivay, the place where visitors can find accommodation, for around 40 kilometers, past Cabanaconde and on to Tapay. 

 

And the adventure has only just started. This broad, imposing green valley surrounded by high mountains is home to the condor, which can be seen often, sometimes at close quarters, in the early mornings. And if you’re looking for more, then you can visit the ancient agricultural terracing, local thermal pools, or the nearby villages with their beautiful churches. This magnificent natural setting also offers a number of adventure sports options, including trekking, mountain biking and rafting. It is also possible to explore the canyon on horseback, or descend on foot to admire its depths. You couldn’t ask for a more adventure-filled destination. This is Colca.
