OVERVIEW
Colca Canyon, the second deepest canyon in our planet (double deep Grand Canyon of United States), offers some of the finest sceneries of the Andean mountains, as well as one of the best trekking and climbing in Peru. The views are excellent from anywhere and Condors can be seen almost year around. It is located in the middle of two highest volcanoes Coropuna and Ampato, while its soaring condors, immense varieties of flora and fauna, rich cultural remains, snow ranges, green valleys, old and colony towns, mighty rivers crossing the Andes, thousand of pre Inca terraces, friendly and charm settlers and jaw-dropping scenery combine to make the Colca a unique place for hikers..
