While traveling through the country
arrived in Arequipa on Wednesday well I have looked upon me a bit, the white city. Know why because it is built from volcanic rock and this is white.
Arequipa I really like. Here the streets are paved with stones and geder corner there is a building with stunning architecture. The roads are not as crammed with shops in Lima and it is also quieter.
also have been told, is constantly in Arequipa a spring to summer climate. So it seems every day the sun!
straight I made a stop in a download in the outskirts of my photos. There are namely a beautiful red church. This church is so far the one that has fallen to me here in Arequipa best.
The photos are of the two day excursion to the Colca Canyon, a spectacular Andean valley with the deepest canyon in the world and the highest point 4910m, from which one can see the volcanoes and the mountains of the Amazon origin (if not grad totally foggy and cloudy is. Since snowing up there by the way now and again my first snow of the year -.. hihi
The largest town is called Chivay - the city is done in love, and Colca means granary - They are building there already since 1800 BC in the form of various terraces. Today, 300 different varieties of potatoes, quinoa, Quiwicha, Tarwi
etc. Further along the valley you can watch the second-largest birds in the world. The condors. 3.70m Fluegelspannweite and one sailor.
In Chivay we have experienced a small flood - it starts there, namely the moment in time for lunch and pour in thunderstorm. All wet and half frozen to death, we went to the spa - what bliss!
Yes - tonight I driving to Cuzco and the next photos on Flickr are then perhaps Machu Picchu.
