Cañon del Colca





The condors of Cañon del Colca (in southern Peru) are famous for their graceful flights as they catch the rising thermals and just cruise the skies in the world´s deepest canyon. (They´ve just re-measured it, and apparently its over 4000m deep at its deepest point!) Here its a mere 3300m deep. None of the photos I took manage to catch the moment well enough, but having these huge birds (the second largest flying birds in the world) just pass a couple of meters overhead or beside you is really unforgettable.
