Chivay
V!VA User‘s Description
At 3,652 meters, Chivay is the most popular entry point for the Colca Canyon. As a tourist haven, the town has a variety of good hotels, restaurants, and bus services. Due to its popularity, however, the town is a bit touristy and shows the wear of world traveler traffic. Those in search of a slightly more laidback atmosphere should head to nearby Cabanaconde, which is also closer to the Cruz del Cóndor. To its credit, Chivay has the only Internet in Colca, the best-equipped clinic, and is the headquarters for police and mountain rescue. The area also boasts excellent hiking and trekking opportunities.
