Santiago (San Antonio)

Known as The White City, Arequipa enchants visitors with its elegant colonial architecture framed by dramatic volcanic scenery. Just a few hours away lies the breathtaking Colca Canyon — one of the deepest in the world — where ancient terraces, traditional villages, and majestic Andean condors create an unforgettable experience.

Special Notes:

•Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

•As this is an active program that takes place at high altitudes, we strongly recommend that all guests consult with their physician regarding their ability to participate prior to signing up.

•Please advise the RSSC Reservations team when you book this program should you have any special dietary restrictions or requirements. Requests will be sent to our local ground operators for review.

DAY 1 - Saturday, March 6, 2027

After disembarking in San Antonio, Chile, meet your guide and transfer to the airport for a scheduled flight to Arequipa, Peru connecting through Lima. Upon arrival in Arequipa, the group will be met and transferred to the hotel where dinner is included.

DAY 2 - Sunday, March 7, 2027

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your guide and transfer to the impressive Carmen Alto viewpoint, where you will enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Continue to the colonial district of Yanahuara, a charming neighborhood of narrow cobblestone streets and traditional white houses built of volcanic stone. From here, admire magnificent views of the three volcanoes that dominate the skyline: Misti, Chachani, and Pichu Pichu.

Visit the Santa Catalina Monastery, the most important and impressive religious monument in Peru. Founded in 1579, this vast walled citadel gradually expanded to include cloisters, plazas, narrow streets, tiled roofs, and cobblestone paths. For centuries, it functioned as a secluded convent for nuns from the city’s most distinguished families.

Next, enjoy a walking tour of Arequipa’s UNESCO-listed Historic Centre, including the Plaza de Armas. Known as the “White City,” Arequipa owes its nickname to the extensive use of sillar, a white volcanic stone used in the construction of its churches, mansions, and civic buildings. The historic center reflects a remarkable fusion of European and indigenous architectural techniques, brought to life by colonial masters as well as Criollo and Indigenous artisans.

After lunch at a local restaurant, depart by road to the Colca Canyon where upon arrival the group will enjoy dinner before retiring for the night.

DAY 3 - Monday, March 8, 2027

After an early breakfast, depart very early in the morning towards the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint, where you will observe the impressive depths of the Colca Canyon, considered deeper than the Grand Canyon in Colorado. This is one of the best places to witness the majestic flight of Andean condors in their natural habitat.

Continue the journey with visits to the traditional villages of Maca and Yanque, home to beautiful colonial-era churches. Along the way, stop at the scenic viewpoints of Wayra Punku and Antahuilque, offering striking panoramic views of the canyon and surrounding landscapes.

Lunch and dinner will be enjoyed back at your hotel in the Colca Valley.

DAY 4 - Tuesday, March 9, 2027

Following breakfast at the hotel, settle any incidentals and check out. Meet your guide and depart by road for Arequipa Airport, with a box lunch provided en route.
