No matter if you’re wanting to explore Arequipa, Cañón del Colca or Cotahuasi Canyon, chances are you’ll go with an outfit based in the city. Few guides operate in the other areas. Arequipa-based agencies offer city and gastronomic tours in double-decker buses, and day trips and multi-day trekking expeditions out to Colca Canyon. Many also offer adventure excursions near the city for hiking, climbing, mountain-biking, whitewater rafting or horseback riding.
Beware of unregistered ticket vendors and tour agencies trying to sell you fake entrance tickets and all-in-one package deals to the canyon. For whatever tour you take, be sure you get a receipt that has a clear logotype that is printed and not stamped. By law, tour operators must reveal all that is included in a tour package. Ask very pointedly what will and will not be included.
