This tour through the Colca Canyon was an incredible experience. The landscapes were spectacular, and the hike, although challenging, was totally worth it. The hot springs in Llahuar were the perfect touch to relax our muscles, and the oasis was an unexpected paradise. The organization of the tour was excellent, and our guide made the whole trip educational and fun. Highly recommended!
