Peru - Colca Canon - Day 1

We decided to go on a two day tour, not a trek, of Colca Canyon. There was a lovely German couple with us.

For this first day we did two hour long hikes. Then we ate lunch at a lodge. We saw cloud plumes from an active volcano. And stopped many times to see condors, llamas, and alpacas.

We also swam in hot springs and seen two types of burial tombs (hanging and cliff houses).

All the while, we are driving along the canyon, which has more ancient (an often still used) terraces for the entire fertile areas.

Tomorrow is more of the same, but all fun.
