One day to Chivay

It lasts 14 to 15 hours, according to the listing, with hotel pickup, bus transport, breakfast, lunch depending on the option and a guide. Entrance to the Canyon and to the hot springs is paid separately. It is the shortest option, but the day is long, so rest well the night before and keep some cash.

Two days with accommodation

It includes one night with breakfast, in a family home, hostel or 3-star hotel depending on the option. It ends in Arequipa or in central Puno. Lunches, dinner and show, the hot springs and Canyon entrance are not included and are paid separately, according to the tour listing.

The excursion that ends in Puno

It lasts 17 hours and includes a continental breakfast, transport and a guide. Lunch, Canyon entrance and the Chacapi hot springs are paid separately. It works if your next stop is Lake Titicaca and you want to skip the return to Arequipa. Check on the tour listing where the final drop-off point in Puno is.

How to decide

Compare the time you have, whether you want to sleep near the Canyon and where you continue your trip. Budget for the entrance fees and meals that are paid separately, and keep in mind that none of the three is a short excursion. For the guide's language, check the listing of each tour before booking.
