What a couple of days! A 2am start yesterday morning ready for a bus tour to 'Colca' the worlds deepest caynon. We were picked up at out hotel and then had a 3 hour drive up to Chivay, the capital of the region. A quick breakfast was munched down before heading off to various Andean villages, were there were eagles of display and Charlie and I also had one perch on our arms. The mAin aim of the trip was to view the condors of the region, of which only 50 are still alive. We were ao lucky to see one of these extremely rare birds and so close up too. To top this is was all visible with a 3500m deep canyon as a back drop, not bad!!
Just time for a quick supper back in Arequipa, then an over night bus (9hrs) to Cuzco. Arriving at 5.30am was not pleasant coupled with a wait til 3pm for our room at Loki hostel. But a laze in the garden and a stroll round the town and markets soon solved that issue. We booked our inca trail tour today, leaving at 10am tomorrow morning...an update will follow after Machu Picchu!!!
