Colca Canyon - Peru

From Arequipa, Peru, we decided to go for a 3-day trek down to the bottom of the "World's Deepest Canyon" (when in Rome...). As it turns out, the Colca is the deepest because the Grand Canyon is actually a "gorge", and they also measured the depth from the top of some bleedin' he-uge mountain nearby. Despite this technicality, it's always nice to look at something massive and give it a good taming.

The wildlife was diverse... We managed to spot some condors and were followed by a local street mut for the entire 3 days and 25km! The trip included a night with a local family at the bottom of the canyon, which was sweet until Fiona caught the gout and suffered for the whole trek back up. Some nasty buses and borders later, we've set up camp in La Paz (Bolivia) until the gonorrhea passes.
