Colca Canyon--Condors and Chivay hot pool

This was a great trip and totally justified the journey to Arequipa. To see these giant birds up so close was an amazing experience. And the canyon is the deepest in the world--Yep thats right!!--bigger than the Grand Canyon! It was pretty nice to finish off with a dip in the great hot pools of Chivay and then go over one of the highest passes in South America on the trip back into Arequipa---nearly 5000metres
