The Collagua and Cabana cultures inhabited the region long before the Incas, leaving behind terraced fields that are still used today. The Spanish later established colonial towns, preserving their rich Andean traditions.
Located in southern Peru, about 160 km (100 miles) from Arequipa, Colca Canyon is surrounded by volcanoes, deep valleys, and high-altitude plains, creating a stunning, dramatic landscape.
Colca has a high-altitude Andean climate, with warm days (15–20°C / 59–68°F) and cold nights (as low as -5°C / 23°F). The dry season (April–November) is best for trekking, while the rainy season (December–March) brings lush greenery.
