We drove through the night, about an hour down the Panamerican from Arequipa and then right towards the Andes and the town of Huambo where we met the hired buros and got our stuff together for the hike in.
We also enjoyed a local breakfast before the hike:
(4685)
Burro with kayaks
(4693)
Burros with canyon
4696รง
The hike into the Colca Canyon was impressive beyond belief. We dropped into a canyon twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, passing through millions of years of geology on the way. The hike took about 6 hours and was probably close to 20km.
We arrived at camp to great hotsprings and swimming in the river.
Lots of bugs eating us alive. Big days up ahead.
