11/10/14 Colca Canyon... the grand finale

Want to guess the start? ......Up early about 0530 to hit the road for the Colca Canyon. Made a bunch of stops for picture taking along the canyon before we arrived at our look-out point for Condors (the bird Peru is known for, vulture-like looking bird that is gigantic). We spotted a few here and there but nothing up close, but right at the end one swooped through which was pretty cool. After the morning in the canyon, we left Chivay and headed to Arequipa. Arequipa is beautifulllll. The architecture, the palm trees, the liveliness. It was wayyyy cleaner that Cusco, which I liked. We explored the plaza area and the markets obviously. Found this gem of a spot on top of a building in the plaza and were able to see the entire city from the top. Took the overnight bus back to Cusco at about 1930 and was back for work in the morning. Woof.
