COLCA CANYON: Enjoy the view of the Colca Canyon from its deep, it´s really amazing after to walk some hours, just people likes the adventure and to pass the night in the Colca Valley. It is a canyon of the Colca River in southern Peru, it is one of the deepest in the world with a depth of 4160 meters. The Colca Valley is a colorful Andean valley with pre-Inca roots, and towns founded in Spanish colonial times, still inhabited by people of the Collagua and the Cabana cultures. The local people keep their ancestral traditions and continue cultivating the pre-Inca agricultural terraces. Visiting the Colca Valley and the Canyon by transport is amazing but walking inside the Canyon until its bottom and appreciate the walls of the Canyon is doublelly wonderful.
