From Copacabana to Arequipa

Volcano Misti in Arequipa

Ready to go up Misti volcano
Our guide got lost and while we waited to be found by the other guide i got started a fire

Basecamp at 4500m After about 5000m altitude sickness kicked in and on 5100 i had to call it quits...
But Joe made it all the way to the top!! 5825m



2 day Colca canyon tour, the worlds deepest canyon 4800m deep!
At 4800m you're close to the gods, and the locals build these to be granted a wish


Sitting on top of the worlds deepest canyon and watching the big condors fly! wing span between 2,5-3m!
Funny name ;)
A big eagle!
Beautiful animal!
Another eagle
Girls dancing around the square



Mount misti
Lamas
Cute girl and a cute lama
