Colca Canyon and Arequipa (06, 07 January 2006)

The ascent out of the Colca Canyon was long and gruelling. After 4 hours we finally reached the top. Here we are with some other groups. Man, that was tough!


We took a bus from Cabanaconde back to Chivay. We passed the Mirador de los Condores, but there obviously were not a lot of condors to be seen on this day.


On the road from Chivay to Arequipa we could again see the classic volcano "Misti".


The following day we were on our way back to Lima. A great little holiday and a shame it is over so soon.
