Arequipa-Trekking por el Colca cañon
After a six hour busride we arrived at the village of Cabanaconde. It's the departurepoint for the awesome Colcacanyon. It's said to be deeper than Crand Canyon. So to walk up from the depth of the canyon, it's about 1000 meters of altitude, but you walk up to 3300, which means less oxygen than you have on Mt.Titlis....
On the way down down I felt pretty sick and had a terrible headache, no, no hangover. Just the altitude. So our guide paulo gave me some Coca leaves to chew, and by the time we reached our accomodation I felt already much better.
On the second day I felt great again. 'Yesterday was dramatic, today is ok'!
