Carry coca tea with you, you can put it in a bottle.

Colca Canyon Trekking Tips III

Wake up early before sunrise, so can start walking as soon as the sun comes out, trust us! you don’t want to be walking at midday!!

Take with you water with coca tea and some caramels for instant energy. Remember that you are going from 2,100 meters (a.s.l) to 3,300 meters (a.s.l)

In this part of the trekking you just have to walk upwards until you can see Cabanaconde. (3 hours)

Colca Canyon Fever Day II

After asking for directions at house of Rivelino we started walking for 1 hour untill Cosñirhua.

Walking wasn’t all that great cos neither of us could breath.

At Cosñirhua we bought bananas and honey, delicious!!!
The prices here are cheaper than in San Juan but more expensive than in the city.

When we arrived to Malata we realized that the Colca Canyon towns were celebrating their anniversary.

Colca Canyon Trekking Tips II

From San Juan de Chuccho (House of Rivelino) take the wide pathway and if the path is bifurcating take always your right. There is a point where you start to go upwards following a small river (on your right) continue this way until you see a bridge, cross it and then you will start to go upwards.

Colca Canyon Trekking Tips I

You can arrive to Cabanaconde by taking a public bus during the night:

1AM Reyna Buses
1,30 AM Andalucia Buses
They both charge $15 soles for the trip.

If you take the 1AM bus you arrive to Cabanaconde at 6AM you can eat breakfast in town and then start walking to San Miguel lookout to start the trekking.
