Sky heights and Canyon depths

We were lucky to visit the Colca Canyon, which is over 3000 meters deep making it the deepest canyon in the world. Surrounded by cactus and condors this was a really interesting part of Peru.

We saw a condor, had one fly overhead while having lunch. We were also treated with an eagle taking off. I've not had too much success with flying birds, but at least I have learnt that a fast shutter speed is king!
