Colca Canyon

Deeper that the Grand Canyon, Colca Canyon is impressive and is one of the deepest canyons in the world. Close to Arequipa, I took the bus to Colca Canyon. Also in search of the Andrean Condor I was not disappointed.

In the Inca culture the Condor is sacred and represents the heavens. The puma represents strength, adaptability and the middle world of earth. The snake represents knowledge and the underword.

Appreciate the beauty of the vast canyon
