Trek in the second deepest canyon in the world!!

Helllllooooo!!

So, after our adventures in Uyuni, we arrived in Arequipa, second biggest town in Peru.

There we went on a three day tour to trek in the second deepest canyon in te world.
We started by a long 5 hours bus ride to reach a village called Cabanaconde situated at the top of the canyon.

After lunch, we started the trek to reach the bottom of the canyon. It took us about three hours and it was quite hard as the trail is very dusty and full of stones and going down is a little hard on the knees...

After a short rest, we reached a village on the other side of the canyon where we would

spend the night. It is quite amazing to see that people still live there, the have to go all the way up if they need anything fom the shop!! Crazy!!

After a nice night of sleep, we leave on the second day for 2 hours of going down again a bit further in the valley. On the way we see a beautiful waterfall!!

We finally arrive to the bottom into a amazing oasis of green trees and palmtrees with swimming pool, hammocks!!! well, a little paradise!

We enjoy the place for a few hours, have lunch, play in the pool, tan... it was really lovely!

BUT!!! WE HAD TO GO BACK UP!!! And that was the very hard part!!! 2h40 min (which is quite good!!) of going only up, without stops almost... on that rocky dusty trail!!
But we did it, and we are proud!

After a deserved night of sleep, we wake up early the next morning to take a bus to go to the Cruz del Condor. But after waiting almost two hours, the condors are very shy and we

manage to see only two or three.

We go back on the bus for a town called Chivay to soak in Hot Springs!!! A bit of a massage for the muscles!!

Back to Arequipa after a last bus ride, we enjoy a drink with the group....

But now we are looking forward to our next destination: MEXICO!!

Lots of kisses
