Wow ...
So The last days were really extremely demanding.
The day after our Machu Picchu excursion we have wasted in Cuzco and were waiting for our night bus in the south, in the white city of Arequipa. After we "rest" for 11 hours so the bus could, we wasted no time and started to get lost.
built church in white Silla volcanic We continued as we were highly recommended, were waiting first in a balcony cafe on the Plaza de Armes of the town on the sunrise when suddenly a huge Militaerprozession the main square of the city marched, we were probably somehow slipped into a national holiday and were allowed to watch from our seats in the front row of the parade.
By evening we were running around in the city, to offer except, unfortunately, some churches had not much until our bus to Pampa, more precisely, our primary goal sailed Chivay. Once there we grabbed the first hostel tired and lay down, sleep ready for a busy day.
Chivay The city itself has to offer, not much (nothing) but it is just a casual 2hours-bus ride from the Canyon de Colca removed the 150 meters to finish second largest canyon in the world. If one measures in place, the thing is twice as deep as the famous Grand Canyon.
The march into the valley was fairly strenuous, but definitely doable. Below waited already a haven for us, a small facility run by a very relaxed Mexican who give us for our Mexico trip a few gems could.
We then climbed a bit below the river bed of the canyon around in swimming trunks and thick boots and let the day pass so ..
.. and suddenly it was evening. And at night it is dark. In a canyon, the sun is gone down 4 times already behind the mountains. And we had to get out of this thing yet.
And so began the arduous march of my Life. Luckily we had had a head lamp professionals here, we do not so in the pitch dark of miles deep slopes (exaggerations make beautiful stories first) shimmy along and went to 1:40 at the top. The specified time for the track was 3-5 hours, only to knock us time itself on the back.
was About 1 clock at night the bus will be back in Chivay and we fell exhausted into bed.
The next day we walked for about an hour away to the hot springs and relaxing with the locals and tourists in a pair of fetid swamp water.
night we treated ourselves then a Peruvian specialty, a complete Cuy .. Images which are perhaps on request ..
The next day began again at 3 clock in the morning, we wanted to catch the bus at 4 in order to drive to the Cruz del Condor, a famous mountain pass right here, at the very frequently show up in the morning condors.
And indeed we could see a lot of condors, it's really such a frenzy when a cattle directly to a Fluegelspannweite of over 3 meters sailed over his head.
Unfortunately, there were gradually more and more tourists who had booked any tours, carted there and 3 hours after we arrived there were it was really over with the majestic silence. Nevertheless, an incredible experience.
evening we sat down again in a bus to Arequipa, and from there directly into a night bus to Nazca, the mysterious Nazca lines. This 2,000-year-old notches in the desert make the height of huge figures dar.
seen So let's attack especially deep into the travel fund, and treated ourselves to a flight in an old 6-man Cessna over the desert.
Then we sat once again 7 hours by bus to Lima, were Late yesterday evening here and spend the day time thus, absolutely nothing to do.
