El condor y Cañón del Colca

The canyon 'Cañón del Colca' is the deepest in the world (3269m) and the natural habitat of the great Andean condor (Vultur gryphus). The condor has a wingspan of 3m and soars effortlessly on the rising thermals.




I would love to go on a horseback trek through the cañón to see los condors, which were until recently on the verge of extinction. Perhaps a little giddy-up on a 'uno paso', a typical peruvian working horse! Now, where did I put that poncho and cowboy hat..?
