This sleepy little town, located near the Colca canyon, has a great market with a lot of local arts & crafts. Many of its occupants are in their traditional garb. This allows great authentic photos if you want to get that great travellers shot. Extremely helpful locals and the restaurants will cater to both the adventurous palet, offering dishes such as Alpaca and to the more conservative with dishes such as " pollo a la plancha con arroz" which translates to grilled chicken with rice and a side of salad or steam veggies

Chivay is a great place to rest up before and after a trek in Colca Canyon. It's a cozy town with a busy market and excellent restaurants. We spent a couple of afternoons eating in a great restaurant overlooking the main square and watching the locals. The hot springs are a must after trekking in the canyon. A visit to the planetarium was a treat as we got to see the rings of Saturn, the craters of the moon, and learn a bit about Incan astronomy.

This capital of a rural region in Peru is a village / very small town that people just stop in to get a break from the long drive to Colca Canyon. The whole area is still catching up to the tourism industry - Colca Canyon is only the third source of income here after farming and herding, tourism having only really picked up in the past 16-20 years. So while Chivay has a town square, a market, and hot springs that smell of sulphur, it can all be seen in a couple of hours. I still recommend the stop - Colca Canyon is worth it but doing the round trip in one day would be unnecessarily rushed, esp since to get to Colca from Arequipa one goes through a vicuna reserve. We enjoyed being able to stop and photograph them.

A rural treasure with peaceful and friendly people.
A rural treasure with peaceful and friendly people. It may be too sleepy for the traveler looking for adventure and glorious sites, but may be a perfect opportunity for hiking, a visit to the hot springs, or mingling with the locals.

Great little quiet town.
Great little quiet town.
Trip to the canyon to see condors was breathtaking.
Observatory at Casa Andina good.
Ziplining and hot springs also worth a visit!
Plenty of good restaurants on the square and if you like a bit of rock music, the Irish pub was banging out classic after classic.
“Marina the manager was so lovely and gracious, and made us feel very much at home. She gave us excellent advice about hikes and restaurants and transport options to nearby attractions like the thermal baths, Corporaque, etc. If I ever return to Chivay I would make a point of going to her hostel again if only to greet her and see how she is doing. Excellent host.

“Impeccably clean! The entire place smelled nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome in their town and at their hotel. They gave individual attention. Great location. On site restaurant was great for meals and the included breakfast. The hotel is one block from the market where you can get anything you need and it’s full of delicious fresh fruits. I would definitely stay here again on a return visit!”
“The owner was the NICEST person I’ve met in hospitality and she went out of her way to be helpful. This could not have been any better. The rooms and bathrooms were very spacious and the shower had abundant hot water which was much appreciated after a cold day of touring. This was an ideal way to visit Colca Canyon, without the 3 am wake time and with a good place to rest. ”
“It's nice because you can take tours of Colca Canyon right from the hotel. The town is small and it's easy to walk all around. Hotel has a basic deck up top to relax after your tour and watch the volcano.”
