Like many girls i found this one paired with a baby alpaca with her mother selling their wares on the steep roadsides of the Colca Canyon in Peru, i enjoy the contrast between her stern distant expression and the mischief going on behind her back, which, moments later made her crack up with laughter.
Condors at Colca Canyon, Peru!! Took this feeling a liitle dizzy as at quite a high altitude!
The Colca Canyon, Peru is the deepest canyon in the world, about twice as deep as the Grand Canyon. The Inca terraces seen here are still farmed by local people. /
Many people believe that Grand Canyon is the deepest canyon in the world but its not even nearly true… Colca Canyon in Peru is the second deepest canyon in the world and is twice deeper than Grand Canyon. MORE TRAVEL ART HERE More of South America…
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).
Near Arequipa in peru.
The condor’s did not come out to play today….... but the view was still amazing!
A young Peruvian girl and her baby alpaca overlooking the vast Colca Canyon of Peru. The inhabitants of the region keep alive their local culture and dress which originated in per-incan times. The girls hat for instance, with the brim folded up in the back signifies that she is unmarried.

Taken at Canon del Colca near Arequipa El Perú
Canon del Colca in Perú, this scene depicts the numerous terraces and ancient inca irrigation system that supplies water to grow various different crops to this day.
Taken close to Arequipa El Perú. These are the smallest member of the cameild family and are very shy. There wool is extremely valuable and I believe that they are a protected species in Peru.
