Is this the most underrated hike in Peru?
We spent 2 days hiking deep into Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world, located near Arequipa in southern Peru. What we found was far more than just dramatic views — steep descents, tiny villages, cactus-covered trails, and a brutal climb back out.
Most travelers visit Colca Canyon as a quick day tour from Arequipa…
But is it actually worth hiking?
In this video, we show:
• What the Colca Canyon hike is really like
• How difficult it actually feels
• Whether it’s better than other famous hikes in Peru
• And if it deserves more attention
If you’re planning a trip to Peru and considering Colca Canyon, this will help you decide.
