The Colca Canyon is the second deepest canyon in the world, although it sometimes claims to be the deepest, while in reality the Cotahuasi Canyon is about a hundred feet deeper or so, and it’s about half an hour away from Colca.

We went on a two-day tour of the canyon, which was mostly just a lot of driving and stopping at really touristy lookout spots. We passed through a lookout point that was at 4,910 m above sea level, which was really friggin’ high. Anyways, enough blabbering, here are some belated pictures:
