We set off this morning and soon stopped at the little town of Yanque. Each morning the local people put on a dance display for any passing tourists.
Not only does this picture show one of the dancers in national dress, but also in the background a volcano is quietly erupting.
We also got into the tourist spirit, and got a photo with two tiny ladies and their llamas.
After that bit of excitement we started our drive along the Colca Canyon. The canyon has a beautiful river running along it's base, and then the most amazing tettaces on either bank.
It was so lovely that it didn't look real.
But then the terraces ended and we reached the National GeoParque, and had to pay to visit the Mirador de la Cruz del Cóndor.
Our guide says that it is where a large number of condors nest, and if we are lucky they will be soaring around in the morning before heading down to the Pacific to feed for the day.
