Arequipa (Colca Canyon Trek) (Day 16) (4/27/19)

Last night, I set two alarms for 2:35 am and 2:45am.  This morning I woke up after receiving a phone call from the front desk at 3:45.  They told me that a tour bus is waiting for me at the entrance of the hotel.  It turns out that the alarm I set was only for weekdays and it didn’t go off because today is Saturday.

Ten minutes later I was downstairs and we drove a couple of hours to viewpoints near Colca Canyon were condors repeated fly, glide, and rest above the canyon.  

Next, we continued to the trailhead and climbed down from the rim of the canyon three hours until the river.  Then we had lunch in a small restaurant on the other side of the river.  We then continued hiking parallel to the river for a few more hours until arriving at an oasis where we relaxed for a few hours, had a mint mojito, had dinner, and then called it a night
