Colca offers many varied options for cultural and outdoors activities, all of wich can have Colca Lodge as a strategic operations base.

For the most adventurous visitors, Colca offers spectacular trekking routes which may include the two or three day Canyon’s exploration; the descent from the base of Sabancaya volcano ( 19,607 ft ) to the Valley floor or the excursion to the birth place of the Amazon River. Colca Lodge offers, together with a local travel agency, some of these programs for organized groups.

Our less adventurous guests can choose one of the short walks from the hotel to the ruins of an ancient Collagua settlement, Uyo Uyo, or to the archaelogical zone of Chininea. The Colca Valley is also a privileged area for adventure sports like mountain biking, mountain climbing and professional white water rafting down in the Canyon.

Those interested in the history and sociological aspects of the region can organize their visit around the area’s abundant Pre-Inca ruins or to the 16 surrouding villages of Spanish origin, each one with a splendid colonial church .
