During the trip a stop has arrived at the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint, to witness the majestic flight of the condors, the largest carrion birds in the world, which rise from the depths of the Colca Canyon, which is one of the the largest deep on the planet. We arrive at the village of Cabanaconde (10785 feet), from where we will begin our descent to the Canyon. The walk lasts approximately a few hours until we reach the depths of the Colca Canyon, we will cross the suspension bridge of San Juan, and we will arrive to the small town of San Juan, where we will spend the night in the houses of the comuneros in modest accommodations.

Here we will enjoy a refreshing swim in the pools of the Lodge, we will enjoy a lunch surrounded by a beautiful landscape and we will spend the second night.

DAY 3 OASIS-CABANACONDE-CHIVAY- AREQUIPA

We get up early to start our walk back to Cabanaconde, climbing a zigzag path and quite steep slope for 3 hours 30 min. approximately.
