Colca Canyon

What do you do if you have a few spare days near the end of your trip? Cycle down the deepest canyon in the world of course.











As usual the trip had unexpected hazards, like herds of cows,














pitch black tunnels,






















as well as beautiful campsites



























and random idiots.
















What could be a better way to end the cycling?

Salkantay to Machu Pichu

For once cycling was not really an option, so we took a five day trek, via the 2nd highest mountain in Peru: Salkantay.












The first 2 days were uphill to the pass at 4650m.









Followed by 2 days downhill through rapidly changing scenary.










































Finally after a 4.00am start and another 2050 steps up to the entrance. Machu Pichu!














It has to be seen to be believed.
