Sadly due to reccent event back home we didnt have the most relaxing time, but we did manage to take a day off and visit the Colca Canyon and see the sunrise (its double the depth of the Grand Canyon in the US!). We stayed the night in a tiny village called Cabanaconde the night before, and were woken at 4am by cockrels, donkeys, goats, and any other mammal that wanted to wake up and tell the world they were alive. It wasnt too much of a problem as we needed to be up for 5:30am for the trek! We were also lucky enough to see some condors soaring overhead, though sadly no pics as they're pretty quick.
Me checking out the sunrise coming over the canyon
Pre-inca farms cut into the canyon!
An oasis in the middle of the desert
More crazy landscaping by those pre-inca's
Loads of alapacas grazing..... they are very tasty in a sandwich!
