Colca Canyon, Peru

July 1-2 Tour to Colca Canyon
- Our tour drove from Arequipa to Chivay through a wildlife reserve that looked something like a moonscape. We saw lots of vicuna, alpaca, llama, and birds. We stayed overnight in Chivay and visited the hot springs there.
- In the morning we drove into the Colca Canyon to see the condors soaring above this vastly deep (and terraced) canyon. In the afternoon we drove back to Arequipa.

July 3 Flight from Arequipa to Cuzco
- 6:00pm briefing with SAS travel about our trek the next day into the Lares Valley
