Day 1: Cañahuas Pampa – Patapampa – Chivay. We will pick you up at your hotel to take the highway out of the city of Arequipa. We will go up in altitude along the way, so we will make short stops to acclimate. One of these stops will be at Cañahuas Pampa, a reserve where alpacas and vicuñas can be spotted. After this, we will make a short stop in Patahuasi. From here, we will continue on to a place called Tacra, where we will be able to observe the region's flora and fauna.

The next stop on the tour will be a visit to Patapampa, the volcano lookout point located at an altitude of 4,800 meters (15,748 feet). Next, we will move on to the city of Chivay, where we will be able to have lunch and settle into our respective hotels. In the afternoon, we will be able to visit the thermal springs of La Calera to unwind, and then we will be free to have dinner in the city of Chivay. After dinner, we will go to rest up for the following day ahead of us.

Day 2: Cruz del Cóndor – Maca – Chivay – Arequipa. We will get up early to eat breakfast in the hotel and then we will take our vehicle to go visit the Cruz del Cóndor (Cross of the Condor). Here, we will be able to tour and visit the lookout point from where you will be able to see some condors in flight. We will also make stops in some towns like Yanque and Maca, where we can go to the local plazas and some handicraft fairs.
