Along the way

The Colca Canyon offers a very interesting geography. Its enormity and depth (more than 3,000 meters from top to bottom) is the result of a massive cataclysm, which occurred over a million years ago... this canyon is no more than a scar from an earthly wound…
Since then Man has left his trace… ancient Andean civilizations built on its steep sides over centuries and created hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of terraced fields… all of which are majestically guarded by the soaring King of the Air... the Condor...
