Apart from Machu Picchu (of course), I think me and Sash are officially “ruined” out!! After the city tour the day before we then went on the full-day Sacred Valley tour which is a whistle-stop journey to 5 different Incan sites. First stop was Chincharo which sits 3700 meters above sea level. This was yet…

Our trip to Colca Canyon began at the unearthly hour of 2.30am. Colca Canyon sits at 5000 meters above sea level which is much much higher than the alps in Europe and is about 3 hours drive from Arequipa. It is one of the deepest canyons in the world and is home to the legendary…
