The Colca Canyon

Colca Canyon, is one of the deepest canyons in the world at 10,725 ft and runs over 100 km.  Twice as deep as the Grand Canyon but with less steep walls, the Colca Canyon still remains relatively undiscovered by tourism. 

Large sections of Inca and pre-Inca terraces remain on the canyon walls and the remains of Inca settlements can be seen dotted throughout the valley making this a fascinating destination for walking and trekking.

A highlight of any stay in the Canyon is to watch the magnificent condors soaring up the canyon walls on thermals rising in the mornings.
