Volcano, El Misti, in the Arequipa region of southern Peru. I’d love to say the puffy white stuff above the crater is an eruption, but it is only a cloud.

On the road between Arequipa and Chivay, Peru, the colour of the tassles on these llamas (pron: jamas) is visible from a great distance against the dull brown and green of the highland Andes. The Inca had bred the llamas so selectively, their fleeces naturally produce 27 different colours (though not on one animal), ranging from white to dark brown and black. One of four camelids indigenous to the Andes, they were the pack animals of the Andes (and still are), as well as providing wool (though not as fine as that of the Alpaca).

Hanging on a rocky outcrop in the Colca Canyon (Cañon del Colca) in Peru’s south, this cacti stands almost 2metres high. The rocky slopes of the Colca Canyon are covered with bushes and other rugged plant life that manage to survive in this dry, cold, high altitude environment, but few of them rise more than half a metre. This one is the exception. The blurred rockface in the background, is actually close to a kilometre away, on the other side of a deep gorge. In it’s deepest point, the Cañon del Colca is over 3km deep, twice that of the Grand Canyon, making it the second deepest canyon above sea level in the world (the deepest is also in Peru).

Another detail view of the famous Inca citadel – Machu Picchu, Peru. This view overlooks the modern day town of Aguas Calientes/Pueblo Machu Picchu, nested far below in the valley on the banks of the Urubamba River, one of the major tributaries of the upper Amazon. The terraces in the background are each approximately 2 metres high, the steep drop-off into the valley below impresses just how easily defended the site would have been (the invading Spanish never found it, rather, it was abandoned after the Inca civilisation collapsed). In many places, the terraces fall away into chasms several hundred metres deep. Machu Picchu, Peru

After viewing the display of Juanita (a mummified child sacrifice discovered in the crater of a volcano) at Arequipa’s Museo Santury, I found these steps just off the main courtyard. The museo is housed in an old colonial building in the central region near the plaza de armas, in Arequipa, Perú.

High Andean plain in the Arequipa region of Peru. In the background is the peak of the Volcano, El Misti.

The southern Peruvian city of Arequipa is bordered by several volcanic cones. This one, Chachani, is the northern-most of the mountains. The Arequipa airport sits at its base, and being an open tarmac, you get a good, up close view of the mountain when walking to and from your plane. Numerous lava flows from past eruptions can be seen on the flanks of the volcano, whilst in the foreground, the Río Chill cuts through the desert.
