Colca Canyon - Arequipa, Peru

From Puno we took a bus to Arequipa which is known for its huge canyon called the Colca Canyon. This tour started at 3am so it was a long day for us but it was really fun to see the canyon and the endangered condors!

Our tour van. Someone else wanted to join!

Early morning view of the volcano!




We stopped in Chivay for breakfast and got to see some baby alpaca :) So soft!


















This was a really dust tunnel that most of us did not enjoy too much






This canyon is said to be the second largest (deepest) canyon in the world. It was pretty impressive!


The condors flying!
  








We were glad that wasn't the size of our van!


The landscape of Peru is just incredible!
