Day 39 Ocona to Canyon de Colca, Peru

With Machu Piccu still closed due to mud slides, we decided to go see Canyon de Colca. The journey there was an epic trek, as it took a solid 6 hours of climbing dirt roads into the Andes Mountains. The first photo is of just foothills, this was a completely deserted road. I don't think we saw another soul the whole way there.
The canyon was absolutely breathtaking, it is around two and half times deeper than the Grand Canyon. As you can see by the cloud behind Mike, we were once again at high altitude.
