The Colca Valley is an ideal place to practice adventure tourism: trekking, camping, mountaineering, white water running, mountain biking, and others.

Trekkers will be able to visit many ancient villages, and go down to the bottom of the Canyon following a route bounded by walls of volcanic lava in the form of pillars.

They will also be able to witness the surprising flight of the condor, above the Colca River that winds its way more than 1,000 m. below.    It is difficult to find the words to describe the wonder of this unique experience.

It is recommendable to set aside 3 - 4 days for trekking in the Colca Valley.

Different types of mountaineering can also be practiced on the volcanoes and snow-capped mountains in this area; while the rapids below invite white water enthusiasts to run their turbulent waters.
