Transfer to Lima airport, assistance on departure flight. Upon arrival in Arequipa, transfer to your hotel. In the afternoon Tour the lovely "White City," built from the white sillar rock that spewed out from the Volcano Misti, including the Santa Catalina Convent, the most astonishing site in Arequipa, which was opened to the public in 1970 after 400 years as a cloister. Santa Catalina takes visitors back four centuries. Entering the cloister you see the numerous and spacious patios and gardens, the kitchen and slave quarters and stone wash-tubs of this convent where entrance requirements were among the strictest in Peru. Novices, daughters of aristocrats, had to prove Spanish origin and come up with a dowry of at least 1,000 gold pesos.

Drive to the Colca Valley, towards Yura climbing to the Puna, or high plateau, and desolate plains of Pampa Cañahuas at the Aguada Blanca National Reserve, protected habitat for vicuñas (llama relatives with finer wool). The valley has beautiful pre-Columbian terraces still used by native Collaguas to plant corn, potatoes, broad beans, alfalfa, quinua, barley and wheat. Overnight at selected hotel in the Colca Canyon. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

An opportunity to explore Colca valley unique towns and to share old traditions with its people; each one has managed to maintain its original appearance despite the passing of the years. The traditional clothing, still worn by the majority of women, the legends recounted by its friendly inhabitants, and the festivals by which agricultural cycles are marked with song and dance, all reveal the history of the Colca Valley. The valley is noted for its textiles: beautifully designed rugs and brocade work (women’s vests, dresses and blouses), trimmed with embossed tin details. Don’t forget to taste the delicious prickly pears (tunas).Stop at the "Condor's Cross" near the town of Cabanaconde, a natural observatory from which you can see the deepest part of the Colca Canyon and, quite frequently, the flight of the impressive Condor -the great Andean bird- in its native habitat. One of this bird’s most amazing characteristics is its ability to soar on currents of air for hours on end, without ever flapping its wings. From here the valley narrows considerably, with an impressive geological formation carved out by the river as it has descended between the mountains (made of largely volcanic materials) over millions of years, giving origin to the fame of the Colca Canyon as one of the deepest in the world. The deepest part of the canyon has been calculated at 3,680m/12,074ft, almost twice as deep as Colorado’s Grand Canyon. Enjoy the panorama. After lunch return to Arequipa and selected hotel. Breakfast, lunch. Return to Arequipa. Overnight.
