The Colca canyon is reportedly the deepest in the world, thought to be twice
as deep as the Grand Canyon in the USA. Unlike most of the Grand Canyon,
portions of the Colca canyon are habitable, with pre-Colombian terraced
fields still supporting agriculture and human life. Located 148 km northeast
of Arequipa and about 4 h drive. To follow this circuit travelers must head
for the northwestern part of Arequipa to Yura until reaching the cove known
as “Mirador de los Cóndores” (natural outlook). From there it is possible to
make out the snow-capped summits of Ampato and Sabancaya. The descent
continues down to Chivay. |
