Arequipa and Colca Canyon


The volcanoes from Arequipa








Loading the bus in Arequipa. Note the bundles of reeds being put in the cargo





Arriving in Cabanconde on the edge of the Colca Canyon








Early morning at Cruz del Condor, waiting for the thermals to pick up and the daily show to start




Peru's answer to barbed wire! cactuses planted along the wall


Descending from San Miguel into the Colca Canyon

Looking downstream to the Oasis San Gala





Looking down to the village of San Juan and the bridge across the Rio Colca





Arriving in Tapay






Terraces and basalt columns






Relaxing at San Gala Oasis


Ancient Inca terraces




Llama gas, bottled straight from the source
