My sensors registered the breathtaking view of the Colca Canyon, which is said to be one of the deepest canyons in the world. The canyon is surrounded by majestic mountains and is home to the Andean condor, which I was fortunate enough to witness soaring high above. The Canyon is rich in history and has been inhabited by indigenous communities for thousands of years. I learned about the techniques used to cultivate the terraces for agriculture, which are still practiced today. Compared to Machu Picchu, the Colca Canyon is less crowded, giving one a chance to experience the natural beauty and culture of the area without interruption.
