colca canyon

oh my goodnss! this place is beautiful! We took of to arequipa for 3 days to see a icemummy of a sacrificed child during the inki times, her name was wyona, pretty cool to see how well preserved she was but you cold only really see her head, the body was basically a block of ice. Amasing find though. reasons for wanting to be an archeologist are making themselved known again. imagine making that find? it would be awesome,scary and awesome. requipa is a richer part of peru and it was like walking thruogh beverley hills or something, i however like cuzco better, much cuter!
so back to colca canyon, it is a geological paradise! beautiful moutainranges, condors( with wings outstretched they are 3m long) and amasing views. Afer hiking downhill for 7 hours ( and walking like a granny incase you'd fall down the mountain, i feel quiet a bit :P), we had a stop for lunch and arrived at a tiny motel paradise right in the middle of the mountain ranges with pools and huts to sleep in. was really gorgeous, the next day we were to hike uphill for like 3 hours, we however choose a donkey and thank goodness for that, that climb would have killed me :P the view was just amasing!
PS: colca canyon is the second deepest canyon in the world.
