Hello!The last few days have been pretty manic with a lot of travelling and a lot happening in one day! We´ve been in Arequipa which is a really nice town. It´s sunny here too which is brilliant.I tried guinea pig here the other night which was interesting! Have had alpaca a few times too.There´s a local dish here called lomo saltado which is really tasty! I´ve spent the last couple of days in Colca Canyon where it was absolutely freezing! The whole group has invested in alpaca jumpers which kept us nice and warm but we all look so ridiculous! We could probably make a rainbow if we all stood in a line. Colca Canyon was really beautiful…it´s one of the deepest canyons in the world. We experienced being at high altitude for the first time too at over 4000m. On the bus ride we saw loads of alpacas, llamas and vicunyas. Yesterday was a really busy day…we got up at 5.30 am for a 2 hour bus ride into Colca Canyon where we went for a small hike and condor spotting. Saw quite a few condors which was good!We visited the town of Chivay too and in the afternoon we went to the hot baths sipping Pina Coladas! Such a hard life!Before that we were in Pisco and went on a boat trip to the Ballestas Islands, went to a vineyard to try the famous Pisco drink and then went sandboarding which was amazing! We went round the desert on sand buggies and the drivers were insane! I´ve added my photos!Today we arrived back in Arequipa and have just been taking it easy because everyone´s so tired! Tomorrow we´re flying to Cuzco where we´re spending a couple of nights before going on the Inca Trail on Thursday! I´m trying to upload my photos but it´s taking ages as usual so please have a look!
