A lovely view of the Colca, if only that funny-looking girl hadn't gotten in the picture.
Colca is famous for its condors. Every morning, billions of tourists descend upon the Cruz del Cóndor in hopes of seeing the magnificent birds in flight. This picture doesn't really do them justice but it was my best shot. Interesting side note: there at the Cruz del Cóndor I met a couple from Alcalá de Henares, the town in Spain where I studied almost three years ago. How did the conversation get started? Referring to the condors, who seemed to be hiding out for a while, the guy standing next to me said, "Están perezosos". The pronunciation was a dead giveaway.
Another view of the canyon. This is not its deepest part. That would be somewhere around where the condor is flying; you'll just have to extrapolate from the photo above. Oh, and, those plants in the foreground are not really ginormous, just in case you were wondering. It's like, one of those camera tricks.
