What's the difference between a 2-day and a 3-day trek?	The routes for both tours are the same. The three-day trek just offers more time to relax and enjoy the canyon. Because of that, the tour is easier than the 2-day trek. But still, neither trek is easy!
Will I see Condors on this tour?	There are quite a few Condors out there, and as we visit different viewing points the chances are quite good. We still cannot guarantee that you will be able to see them, but if you get lucky they will fly just above your head!
Can I finish in Puno instead of Arequipa?	Yes, this is possible. On return to Chivay at 1 pm, there will just be 15 minutes for lunch before departing to Puno. Arrival time in Puno is 7 pm, and the drop off point is at Puno, Plaza de Armas. For this option, you MUST select the ticket option – TREK + TRANSFER FROM THE CANYON TO PUNO – when making a booking.
Can I rent mules?	Yes, it costs 80 soles per day, or 60 soles during the uphill section on the last day from Sangalle to Cabanaconde.
How many kilometres per day do I need to walk during the trek?	You will trek 20 Km. The first day you will walk 14 km and the second day 7km. We recommend that to participate you should be an active person, and practice some sports or walking/hiking.
Is there an accommodation upgrade available, instead of a basic hotel?	No, this Colca Canyon provider does not offer alternative accommodation. If you wish to stay in a different hotel or lodge in the Canyon, it is recommended you book a private tour of the Canyon.
