DAY 02: |
| |
After a relaxing night and sumptuous breakfast, we continue along the other side of the canyon, passing through the picturesque villages of Coshñirgua and Malata, before descending to the lowest point of the canyon, the Oasis. Arriving here around 12:00 m, we have the chance to spend a relaxing afternoon by the pool and rest in bamboo bungalows.

DAY 03:
|
| |
optional
The same day at noon 03:00 p.m we can climb all the way up to cabanaconde and spend the night in the family house ,in this case we don't need to sleep in the oasis and also is more reasonable to sleep in cabanaconde longer and don't wake up at 03:00 a.m and clim up at that time.
Around 3:00 am the following morning we get up and start the climb up the canyon, by torch and starlight (such a climb is fiercely hot by day). Those who are feeling very tired have the option of making the ascent by mule. Breakfast of pancakes with jam or scrambled eggs at the Valle de Fuego hostel tastes delicious after the walk. We then take another local bus for 30 minutes to the Cruz del Condor. Here it is usually possible to witness the flight of condors, as they rise on the thermals out of the canyon around 9:00 am.
We catch the bus again and stop in Chivay for lunch and the opportunity for a relaxing 20-minute dip in the hot pools there. Arrival back in Arequipa is between 4:00 and 6:00 pm. |
