Optional excursions for a extra day in Colca valley<br />
Spend a day with a villager<br />
The tour is designed for people who have an<br />
extra full day in the Colca valley and would like to<br />
spend it together with the locals and actively<br />
share their daily life.<br />
A Coporaque villager will take you to his home<br />
and together the day-work will be planned. We<br />
cannot exactly define what this day will look like<br />
as it depends on the season and weekday.<br />
However, the normal activities run among others<br />
from support in the fields, herding animals, the<br />
preparation of land for sowing, or harvesting.<br />
This experience includes lunch with your host<br />
family, whose main dishes are prepared with the<br />
local products such as Qunioa (Inca rice), potato,<br />
Oca, or rice. For your comfort the meal is<br />
prepared with attention to hygienic conditions.<br />
After lunch you and your hosts will visit the<br />
natural hot springs of Coporaque, which are<br />
regularly used by the people of the village. On<br />
the afternoon your host will accompany you on<br />
your way back to your hotel in Chivy town or<br />
Coporaque.<br />
Please note: Local people do not speak English,<br />
so be prepared to use at least some Spanish<br />
words along with your hands or to request a<br />
guide for translation (extra cost).<br />
Spend half day with a villager<br />
Optional visit for a ½ day to a local family in<br />
Coporaque. Free of charge for clients lodging at<br />
Mamayacchi Lodge (Program Colca 3d/2n). For<br />
clients staying out of Coporaque town, this visit<br />
will have an extra charge (Costs of taxis service<br />
from your hotel to Coporaque town).<br />
Hike from Coporaque to Uyo Uyo.<br />
Duration: 3 ½ hrs.<br />
On this walk we pass through two archaeological<br />
sites; Yuracaca (a pre-Inca cemetery from over<br />
900 years ago) and San Antonio (an old<br />
Collahua community). On the way we reach a<br />
small gorge where we observe the various types<br />
of plants, shrubs and cactuses and have beautiful<br />
views of Yanque town. Heading forward we<br />
arrive at Uyo Uyo, well preserved remains of a<br />
place that was originally a Collahua village dating<br />
back between 900 and 1000 years. The terrain<br />
is a little bit hilly in some parts, but the trail is<br />
kept in a good condition by the daily walk of the<br />
locals. After the tour we will drive you to Chivay<br />
or Coporaque town for lunch (lunch not<br />
included)<br />
Short hike from Canocota to<br />
La Calera. Duration: 2 ½ to 3 hrs.<br />
You are picked up from your hotel for the drive<br />
to the Canacota village (3,550 m), where we will<br />
start our hike. During the walk we will appreciate<br />
a small Canyon, and later on –when we walk in<br />
parallel to the Colca River- we can observe a<br />
colorful variety of plants, shrubs, cactuses and<br />
birds. With some luck we might even see the<br />
“Giant hummingbird”. At the end of the tour we<br />
will stop by the Calera hot springs to relax during<br />
an enjoyable bath.<br />
This hike will give you the opportunity to<br />
become more familiar with the lifestyle of the<br />
Colca-people, local products and to learn some<br />
interesting facts about the formation of the<br />
Colca Canyon.Please note: from the Calera hot<br />
springs there is no transfer to the hotel included!
