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 |
