Explore Yanque: Unforgettable Tours and Activities in Peru

Yanque is a picturesque village nestled in the heart of the Colca Valley, famous for its stunning landscapes, colonial charm, and the traditional dances performed every morning in the main square. Surrounded by terraced fields and dramatic mountains, Yanque is the ideal starting point for exploring the wonders of the Colca Canyon and experiencing authentic Andean culture.

A glimpse into the past

This village has deep roots in both pre-Inca and colonial history. Its beautiful stone church, dating back to the 17th century, stands as a testament to Spanish influence, while the local traditions and customs reflect the resilience and heritage of Andean civilizations.

When is the best time to visit?

The dry season, from April to October, is usually considered the best time to explore Yanque. During these months, the skies are clear, and the weather is perfect for outdoor activities and sightseeing. However, the rainy season brings lush green scenery that also has its charm.

Do I need to acclimatize to the altitude?

Yes, Yanque sits over 3,400 meters above sea level. It is wise to spend a day or two acclimatizing, drink plenty of water, and avoid heavy meals or intense activities on your first day.

What should I pack for my trip?

Pack warm clothes, as temperatures can drop significantly at night, comfortable walking shoes, sunblock, and a hat for daytime explorations. Don’t forget your camera to capture the breathtaking views!
