Highlights of Colca Canyon Tour
One of Peru’s most surprising and yet underappreciated highlights – the Colca Canyon may be difficult to reach but, in the end, it’s worth all the effort under the Andean sun!
The Colca Canyon is the deepest or third deepest canyon on earth and certainly one of the most impressive. Not only is it twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, but we would say it is twice as magnificent, not only because it is the best destination in all of Peru to see the majestic Andean Condor.
