We believe that the 4 day Colca trek is best suited for those who like to SWEAT and who are in good shape, as it is more physically demanding than the 3 day trek. At the same time, it has some advantages.

6:00 AM - We will be picking you up from your hotel and heading to the bus station to set out by bus to Cabanaconde. Lunch upon arrival.

2:00 PM - We start our descent from Cabanaconde to the village of Llahuar (4 hours). The descent to the Colca River winds through warm desert terrain. Walking sticks or canes are recommended. On the first stretch of trail we’ll pass ancient terraces that date back to Pre-Incan times. On the way we will see the local people going about their daily lives. We will cross a suspension bridge that takes us to our camping site in Llahuar. We’ll also pay a visit to a geyser next to the Colca river, and here there’ll be an opportunity to catch some trout. Dinner.

The campground consists of bamboo houses where we’ll be spending the night. Facilities are basic.

6:30 AM - Breakfast. We then continue our hike to the village of Fure, passing through the village of Llatica on the way, which is characterized by the beauty of its women. This is considered the hardest day of the trek, however we’ll be getting some help from our donkey and muleteer (carrying food and supplies) who will be there to ease our burden. Lunch.

After a rest we will go to the Huaruro waterfall. Afterward, we’ll return to the village of Fure and keep on to the oasis where dinner awaits. We’ll spend the night in typical huts.

The oasis of Sangalle is a great place to relax and appreciate nature, while also to taking advantage of the swimming pools of lukewarm water (18ºC). Our guide will be explaining the various native fruits growing in the oasis, such as the lucma, the pacay, and the chirimoya. You will also have the opportunity to taste them.

Breakfast is served in the oasis. Free morning, enjoy the pool and the lush vegetation, a great time to relax and unwind. After all the trekking the oasis is a welcome reward. Lunch is served in the afternoon. Afterward, we will walk back up to Cabanaconde (4 hours) where we have accommodations for dinner and a good night’s sleep in the hotel.
