Volcanoes and Andrean Condors in Colca Canyon
We passed the highest point in our travel, at 4900m elevation, on the Colca Canyon trip, saw many alpacas, vicunas, and a few Andean condors, the largest flying bird in the world.
It certainly wasn’t the easiest part of our trip, given the long drive (7-8 hours on and off the tour van each way), the elevation, and that 3 of us got sick.
Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed the activities and, needless to say, the stunning views, including:
the 1-hour wait at Condor Crossing to photograph the Andean condors
the French/Peruvian home-cooked dinners at Anyi Anna Wasi, an indigenous and artistic hotel we stayed in Colca Canyon
the countryside hike with erupting volcanos in the background
The landscape along the way was incredible. We just wish we had more time to enjoy.
