Colca Canyon, Day 2
Today we continue up the mountains to the best view of the canyon. We stop at Cruz Del Condor. The site is incredible. The Colca Canyon is the deepest in the world at almost 3200m.
The scene is to large to fit in a camera image, so my pictures will never do the view justice.
I am lucky enough to see a condor. From this distance is look like a regular buzzard. But since it is able to fly to almost 6000m high and it can have a wingspan of 10 feet, it is surely very high above me.
After about 2 hours we head down the mountain. We reach Arequipa early in the evening and I splurge ($12 !) on a Peruvian bus with beds. Once you go semi-cama (half bed,) you can´t go back.
