The Colca Canyon



While we were in Arequipa, Peru, we took a trip the the Colca Valley and Colca Canyon. The Colca Canyon is twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States, making it the deepest canyon in the world. The Colca Valley was once inhabited by the Incas, and by the Collaguas and Cabanas before them, and their ancestors continue to cultivate the steep Inca terraces that decorate the valley.
