Colca Canyon Tomorrow

3 AM !! We are leaving at 3  freaking am!! The idea being to reach the first Mirador at sunrise. This is special because it is also where the Condors coast on the thermal updrafts and these huge suckers pass so close you can touch them...but its still 3 am dammit!!

We are heading in for 2 nights and 3 days. Its a great Trek, considered one of the top 10 in the world. We will be plunging into one of the deepest canyons in the world, see the families of condors, lush river oasis, hot springs, many small andean villages, and I believe a total of almost 50km of hiking.

No webbernet for 3 days so until then..

This will give you an idea although not the group I am going with.
