Arequipa is the second largest city in Peru, located in the southwest. We stayed there a few nights and then headed out to see the Colca Canyon, the second deepest canyon in the world. The deepest canyon is located a few hours away. The main tourist attraction is out to a peak where condors have their nests. Check out the photos below and don't forget to click if you want a closer view.
The condors fly around at noon each day
Women come from the nearby villages to sell their goods in conjunction with the noon time flight of the condors.
Our bus passed through this narrow tunnel chiseled out of the mountainside
Baby alpaca!
Baby llamas
We drove by a mountain pass and were snowed on as we made our way back to the hot desert town of Arequipa
