Скачать или смотреть Peru 2012: Driving in Colca Valley 1

The seventh day of our trip was set aside for a trip to one of Peru's great natural wonders, the Colca Canyon, and also hopefully a chance to see one of the world's most impressive birds, the Andean Condor. We were really psyched about this. However, from Chivay it's about an hour and a half to the Canyon, so we had a very early start and and early morning drive from Chivay to the Canyon (and then after a couple of hours spent there, back to Chivay again). Fortunately we were extremely lucky with the weather, and the Colca Valley is a very beautiful area along this stretch. Lots of beautiful pictures. :-)

The area has been used for agricultural purposes for a very long time. The terraced fields you see so many of in this video and the next are of pre-Inca construction, and as you can see still in use. Pretty impressive. :-)
