Peru (Chivay, Cabanaconde, Colca Canyon)

Looking down on Chivay
and further down the canyon
dreery weather on arrival
up to the cross for a nice view
the stone bridge
a spectrum of cactus

and flowers

the weather starts to clear
the next morning it is better
the market
emolliente to start the day
Tourist piscina 2 at La Calera hotspring, 10s
The locals only pool, 1.50s

back to the cross for a better view

and up to the castle for even better
Down to the neighboring town
where i followed this guy around trying for a good shot


and his friend stayed a distance
across the bridge by moto I explore the canyon

and hitch this old lady home
beautiful views


ofcourse this is when my camera decides no jam

continuing on
to the yanque hotspring and bridge
the next day enroute to Cabanaconde


enroute to the geyser
a crappy trail more scenic then the geyser itself (which i incidentally forgot to picture)

back on the road to Cabanaconde

the greatest bit of canyon
Cabanaconde
chess club at the local primary (guess who won)
contemplating the trek ahead
the trek down
Malata in the distance

and the clotheshanger bridge
and back up the other side
Glorias flower at the rest stop in San Juan
the tropical trail onward
