Visit to Colca Canyon

As Ron didn't have classes on Sat. due to a holiday, we took a two day trip to see the famous Andean condors. The road, which is the same one that you'd take to the mission site of San Felipe, is 90% dirt with terrible ruts and potholes. In most places it clings to the edge of the mountain sides with no shoulder or guardrail. In some places the edge (or entire lane) has sloughed off and you can look out the window and see straight down about a mile. Exhausted from what would be a 1 1/2 hour drive on a GOOD road, we found a little hotel in which to spend the night. Driving in the dark is NOT advisable! Sometimes you have to break for unexpected "traffic" as you can see.
