Colca Canyon

Some Alpaca - these would become my dinner on this tour - mmmmmm Alpaca steak

The tour bus - the Speedo didn´t work!

Erm - some moss type stuff - its very hard and only grows 3mm a year - so this stuff is old (its not covering a rock - its all plant!)

Yes - it was very cold up this high!

The highest point of this trip - 4900m

I put that top rock there!

Me at altitude!

Chivay - my home for the night

An old woman spinning - she wanted money for the photo I took - I ran off!

Our hike up the mountain to the burial grounds, starts here (there was a story about the hats that I can´t remember!)

Its all uphill from here!

The norwegian couple - we all just had to climb up those rocks!

The burial sites of ancient royalty

Say hello to your king.

Its all downhill from here!

A girl with an Eagle on her head (damn my shaky hands!) I paid her 1 soles for the photo.

A church! and some of my group

The Colca Canyon (we were in the Colca Valley before) Lots of tourists.

Look a Condor!

They´re getting closer

It landed!

Right over head now - This is a Condor!

The Beautiful Valley

Just to prove I was there!

The resting place of the Priests, put there to stand watch over the valley (how they got them up there I´ve no idea!)

Another Church (there´s lots of them in Peru!)

Volcano Misti! (its active you know?)
