Colca Canyon

Here is the first batch of my pictures from Colca Canyon (the second deepest canyon in the world). It has a depth of over 3000 meters. To put this in perspective, that is twice the depth of the Grand Canyon. Another interesting fact is that there are a bunch of Quechua speaking villages that live in the canyon. In the second picture it is possible to see the pre-inca agricultural terraces, which were constructed to create the level ground needed to grow food.
