Coming to you from a fresh three day trek is the latest blog post from Colca Canyon Trek, featuring the best photos from Cruz del Condor - With a three metre wingspan condors are one of the biggest birds in the world, weighing in at a jaw dropping 15kg they have everything you need to set your heart racing.
The first four photos demonstrate the classic beauty of the colca canyon that fans will know from old; updated with the fattest plumage, beaks, flights and sights that Cruz del Condor can bring.
Sudden mule crossings pervade this three day trek, you can`t help but feel a sense of urgency as hardcore trekkers hurl themselves to the side to avoid being sent tumbling down the hill.
With the one of the biggest drops in any valley, the Colca canyon is twice as deep as the grand canyo - The Arizona canyon scene better watch out....Colca is the next kid on the block and it isn`t holding back any depth at 4,160 m - it`s beem hearalded by those in the valley world as "the world's deepest canyon"
Midway through the trek and the frenetic notes from Cruz del Condor disappear, relaxing into an Oasis filled day deep in the bottom of everything Colca canyon can throw at you. You better enjoy that thermal spring heated pool because you know what this is building to - day three, end of the drop and the climb to the finale
This three day trek, up and down all the sides of colca canyon, holds nothing back and though you can't help looking forward to the end and the all you can eat buffet of life that lies in wait it's hard not to feel that it ended too soon. Fortunately there is a one off, special edition, extra photo to satiate your colca canyon wants - two cheeky donkey's eating the load they just hauled up from the valley floor and the quick steps of their owner running to save her day's work. Should`ve fed those donkey's more - thats how Colca does it...
