My gf and I did the 2d/1n trek. The guide, David, was excellent. He had so much knowledge about the canyon and spoke perfect English. There are many interesting plants which are very poisonous so it’s good to have someone with you. Some do this as an unfixed tour but it was quite affordable to have a guide. We opted to book our accommodation separately from the group in Sagalle at the Oasis Paradiso Hotel so we could have a private bathroom. The hike was difficult but not insanely challenging. I actually found going down more difficult as my knees were really bothering me. You head back up in the morning and for us it was raining and dark and you haven’t eaten so you got to push through those first couple hours. It took us about 3 hours to get back up and there is an option to take a mule if you choose. We saw many doing that. A few things I found useful. First, trekking poles they really do help your knees going down as well as going up. Silicon protectors for your toes. I began to develop a couple hot spots on my toe on way down so put them on and worked great. Rain gear (if rainy season). It poured for the last hour of our downhill trek and got soaked. For those who have altitude issues, I took a half dose of altitude sickness medicine that picked up at pharmacy in Arequipa. I think it maybe helped as I didn’t seem to have any issues with the height. Overall this is an excellent trip the views are breathtaking. This will not disappoint.

Beautiful views during both days. We were lucky to enjoy the mountains in their full green glory during the summer rainy season without any rain. The hike, especially on its second day with a brutal uphill, is challenging, hence not recommended if you are completely out of shape or have issues with your knees. The accommodation for our overnight stay is pretty and the pool came as a nice surprise after a long hike in the first day. Our guide was Rafael. Very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, punctual and funny. 5 stars for Rafael.

Our tour guide, David, was absolutely brilliant and his knowledge, humour, friendliness and problem-solving skills are what made the tour such a success. He provided us with lots of fascinating commentary, made sure everyone's dietary requirements were met at the restaurants, ensured nobody felt left behind on the short hikes, and he was always happy to answer all our questions. He even sourced clean towels for our visit to the hot springs so that we didn't need to rent any. Worth every single penny we paid for this tour.
