Best colca trek company, the best options treks in Colca canyon :
Colca trek not classic , different treks with waterfalls, hot springs inside the Colca canyon, we have in this trek short and long routes, personalized treks according your physical condition.
The Colca canyon trek not classic of pablo tour, is directed towards people who like to do something different and to have different choices within the Colca canyon depending on the physical condition of each person in small groups.
This Trek is done in the West part of the Canyon. On this trek you don’t find many tourists because it’s not the classic Colca trek. This part of the canyon is wild; we will have more contact with the nature.
On this trek, in the second day we have different routes (4 routes) to get to the Oasis.
We recommend the fourth route on the second day because like that you can join the both parts of the canyon (the not classic part with the classic part of the Colca canyon). This option is highly recommended by our customers.
Pablo tour has no limits to offer just the classic Colca trek (trek that all the companies offer)
One of the requirement of our travel agency is that in our Cultural Tours and treks tours are exclusives. Pablo tour has no limits in offering the same thing that all the other travel agencies offer.
Pablo tour doesn’t pretend to have big groups; our tours and Treks are especially designed for special clients, according to the physical condition of each person.
In case on the day that you book your tour or trekking there are just 2 people, we don’t cancel the tour nor do we call another travel agency to join our clients to get more people in our groups.
We never pool our customers with other travel agencies. One of the reasons we try to provide different tours and treks is because we avoid the classic travel agencies. We try not to find many people on our tours and our treks
In Pablo tour that does not happen, our routes choices are different from the other travel agencies and at the same time the service that we offer is better.

We will arrive at a place called Pallca.
There are only 2 lodges here.
Both lodges have small hot spring pools, between 28 -33 degrees Celsius.
After the trek on the first day, relaxing in the hot springs next to the Colca River is the most appreciated reward our clients can have after an arduous trek.
These hot spring pools are so close to the Colca River that we can touch the water of the Colca River when we bathe in the hot springs.
These hot spring pools are closed during the rainy season, from January to March because the river water rises and covers the hot springs.
So during the rainy season we cannot enjoy the hot spring pools.
On this trek during the day the maximum is 30-35 degrees Celsius and minimun ( in the night ) is 12 degrees Celsius.
This day you will sleep in private wooden rooms |
