It took us 4+ hours to get to the bottom of the 2nd deepest canyon in the world and 6 hours back up the same way. The hike was scorching and steep but it was worth it.
Above 4800 meters, stands Colca Canyon, it's a beautiful place completely isolated from human destruction.
This summer I spent 6 weeks on a Glasgow University expedition to the rainforest in Ecuador. Once the expedition was over a few of us stayed out for 4 more weeks and travelled around in Ecuador and Peru.
In Peru we did a trek through Colca Canyon which had some of the most spectacular scenery I've ever seen
