Is the Colca Canyon safe?
In terms of security, the Colca Canyon has a controlled tourist infrastructure, with guards and even police. You are more likely to be robbed in any other city in Peru or in your country than in the Colca Canyon.
If you are concerned about your integrity on the trail, you should know that the Colca Canyon is a physically demanding hike and will take you to altitudes of over 4,000 meters above sea level.
Most travelers visiting the Colca Canyon also stay in the town of Chivay, considered one of the safest in the valley, although that doesn’t mean you can walk around with your guard down, as petty crime is unfortunately common throughout Peru.
Pickpockets and robberies are a common occurrence, be on your guard in crowds, as thieves may create distractions to attack you. However, we do not want to scare you by highlighting this, but to show you an unfortunate reality when traveling abroad.
This does not mean that it can happen to you or that you are traveling to a highly unsafe country, on the contrary, they are just precautions. In the event of such an inconvenience, there are government agencies specialized in tourism, which will be ready to assist you in case of any eventuality.
The Tourist Police is another branch of national security that assists foreign travelers, although they are more likely to be found in the larger cities than in the more rural and remote areas of the country.
