After breakfast, we travel north to Colca Canyon, one of the world’s deepest. Passing through the Pampa Cañahuas Reserve, we witness desert landscapes, rock formations, and grasslands home to vicuñas, llamas, and Andean deer. We ascend to over 12,000ft to the Pampa de Toccra, where flamingos gather in season. The journey offers breathtaking viewpoints, including the Mirador de los Andes at Patapampa, 16,000ft above sea level, with stunning views of Arequipa’s volcanoes. In the afternoon, we reach Chivay, near Colca Canyon.
