Arequipa and Canon del Colca

After enjoying the beautiful city of Arequipa underneath the volcano El Misti with its labyrinthious monastery and an old frozen Inca mummy from the Andes, we continued to a true outdoor adventure:


Canon del Colca was long believed to be the deepest Canyon on earth (now it´s on 2nd place).
Due to the height (3800m) hiking becomes quite exhausting, but believe you me when I say, you have never seen a mountain panorama like that!
Plus on the famous Cruz de Condor we were able to see the famous and majestic Peruvian Andean Condor drifting through the deep canyons.

Simply spectacular!
