Well its been an exciting couple of days. We went hiking in the Colca canyon for 2 days. Its supposed to be one of the worlds deepest canyons so that means alot of up and down.
The trek is pretty cool because its all done with local busses for transportation. Our guide picked us up at 6am and we get to the Arequipa bus terminal and board a bus that is way over sold. We ride that for 6 hours to get the Cabanaconde with atleast 20 people standing in the aisle on road on teh side of the worlds deepest canyon on a road that´s not paved.
From there we hike down 1300 meters into the caynon and stay at a local village, pop 50 people. They made us dinner and then put us to sleep in the thickest alpaca blankest you´ve ever seen, we are in winter at an altitude of 2500 meters here.
In the morning we hike down to the bottom of the caynon to an oasis with swimming pools and bamboo huts. We swim and eat lunch there and then begin our 1300 meter acent out of the canyon. I almost died but marla did very well.
To celebrate the guides opend the local discotech for us where we were treated to all the DJ Tiesto music you could want. They then played the gasolina song over and over again. You´ve probably heard it. It goes something, something gasolina over and over again. All in all good times.
