This will just be a brief one! Colca Canyon is incredible - dirt roads high up the side of rather nerve wracking drops. Driving through a dark, dusty tunnel at one part. Seeing Inca terraces and tombs, over 600 years old. (The terraces are all still used for farming today.) Then getting close to vultures with a 2.5 metre wingspan. Phew!!
Then we drove back to Chivay (1.5 hours) before having lunch there, and driving home (4 hours). Very dusty and tired.
A few photos from the web to give you an idea...

Below... the cliffs near the Condors. It's hard to see, but it's about 3000 metres down to the bottom... that's twice as deep as the Grand Canyon!! When you peer over the edge, you want to hold the wall tightly!
All in all a great 2 days, but I'm very glad to be back home... tired...
Tomorrow will be Wednesday. Jobs and preparation for Sunday, as well as prayer meeting in the evening...
