Cañon del Colca

Colca Canyon, 3hrs drive from Arequipa and the western Andes. One of the deepest canyons in the world (3191m), el peru claims the deepest in the world (I believe them!). At the Cruz del Condor, known locally as Chaglla, and home to nearly 50 condors. It is nesting season now, but we saw five gliding on the thermal air currents (my wildlife photography wasn´t even close..!).
