 I did a 3 days hike in Colca Canyon |
 watch out for Llamas |
 it was a dusty road |
 and some cows |
 Panorama View of the Colca Canyon Trek |
 a chaotic Panorama... sorry :-) |
 with an old farmer lady |
 it is considerer deeper than the |
 grand canyon in the USA |
 the way going down the gorge |
 there are a various cactus |
 which look very interesting |
 this is called the Oasis |
 it was a 4 hours descent |
 along a small path |
 some flowers on the way |
 the size of the canyon is breathtaking |
 some more cactus |
 with yellow flowers |
 this is my tour guide Zaida |
 and here a funny lady that sold water |
 with her son |
 which was very cute |
 and her daughter |
 which was quite shy |
 our first night accomodation |
 my room |
 with a simple but nice bed |
 and the surrounding of the place |
 some trees with amazing parasite |
 and the sunset |
 Startrail photo from my accommodation |
 next morning some people got up early |
 some nice plants |
 and some strange ones |
 with nice flowers |
 a very smart water irrigation system |
 makes the place green |
 full of cactuses |
 and the mules transporting fruits |
 having lunch in Tapay hostal |
 Zaida & Daniel cooking lunch |
 and a tourist with Zaida :-) |
 an nice place to stay and have food |
 the bungalows look very cosy |
 the ingredients for lunch |
 with Alpaca meat |
 and a nice stove to cook it |
 marinating the meat |
 add some lemon |
 cook it in a pan |
 with a happy chef cook |
 et voila, a nice steak |
 having lunch together |
 in the backyard were some |
 sheep as well |
 the view of Tapay village |
 and descending to Sangalle |
 the copper in the rocks gives the orange colour |
 a lady on the path making material |
 view to Sangalle aka the Oasis |
 crossing the river |
 and back up the other side |
 with ladies presenting eagles |
 and Alpacas |
 the market in Chivay was very fruitful |
 with many local people |
 buying fresh fruits |
 and a girl playing |
 between baskets full of fruits |
 a lady making traditional dresses |
 and a big chunk of Alpaca meat |
 and preparing vegetables for lunch |
 a statue with traditional dress |
 and another lady feeding her Alpacas |
