After a quiet night I wake up in the hostel - with many difficulties - to 6. At 7 am I waiting for a bus that will take me to the Canon del Colca. I have breakfast, I prepare my suitcase "28 kg" and, still half asleep, I press on toward the bus, as per ticket bought the previous afternoon in the center of Arequipa, El Gobernador awaits me outside. My fellow travelers come from many different locations: Holland, USA, Germany, Finland, Paraguay, Argentina, etc.. etc. etc .............................!!
After 15 min. the first stop of the trip: we must protect ourselves for combat "Soroca ". This is the so-called altitude sickness altitude sickness that, given that we are going to more than 4,000 meters above sea level, will be felt and not a little. In a small shop situated in the outskirts arequipena buy the famous leaves coke and lemon drops and coke.'ll find out later that I like sweets but not coca leaves: troppooooo love! The next stop is after a couple of hours. We are surrounded by mountains and rocky stretches of sandy impressive vicuñas where llamas and live in total freedom. I shoot and I'm happy to be there. Nature is wonderful. Then we go through another two hours to travel to Chivai. Chivai is a small town surrounded by nature prelude arrival, early the next morning, the Colca Canyon.
The hotel where I was lucky to stay cute. The surrounding landscape is breathtaking. I keep taking pictures and I enjoy my surroundings. And he took with fatigue, threw me on the bed at 18 o'clock in the afternoon to wake up at 5 am the next day and go back on the bus directly to the Colca Canyon, hoping to see what has been announced by our friendly guide Peru: the flight of the condor ! Once delivered the scenario meets expectations. The sky is clear and my hopes and my fellow tour to see the condors fly rears up suddenly to be reflected in reality. This majestic bird with a wingspan of 300-315 centimeters second only to that of 'albatross is hovering above me. The excitement is sky high! Happy and satisfied with my visit to the Colca Canyon in Arequipa I return with still imprinted in my mind images of beautiful landscapes that I had the chance to admire.
