Colca Canyon

Yet more impressive mountain scenery in Peru, this time at Colca Canyon. We spent a morning watching the famous condors above the 'canyon' (debatable - might be a valley) and then Aaron came down with something that rendered him housebound. It was a real pity because we planned to do more hiking here - I went off on my own in the afternoon but we left the next day. Not to worry - you get a really good idea of what the canyon's like from the slowest, most packed bus ever, which winds its way along the edge for a good 3 hours. Fine if you really enjoy the views, not so good if you like to breathe clean air without a bum/goat/baby in your face.
