day 04 - Nasca - Arequipa - Canyon de Cola - part 1

Hi ...
Just to say I change a bit my program.
It is now 11:00 local time and in half an hour I will take the bus to Arequipa. The trip takes 9 hours so I will arrive late in the evening. Instead of staying in Arequipa I will try to take the bus to a village at the end of the Conyon de Colca where I will arrive early in the morning.
The Canyon de Colca is bigger than the well known Grand Canyon in the US.
Tomorrow morning I will then go to Yuanque along the Canyon where I will stay overnight. Next day visit some inca-ruins and tombs and perhaps relax in hot springs in the afternoon .... We will see !
It is possible that there is no internet connection over there... so it could take a few days before I can update this blog.
Have a nice time over there.

day 04 - Nasca - Arequipa - Canyon de Cola - part 2

Before I tell further what happened today .... first a few pictures of Nasca ...

the next one is the dry river (only flooded during e few weeks) used as garbish-disposal

Then I had a little problem ... I had bought a ticket for 11:30 PM and not AM ... so I changed my ticket to the bus of 3:30 pm which left me a few hours more in Nasca ... went to the barber and left to Arequipa with 1 hour additionnal delay

The bus goes south the desert along the coast of the pacific ocean (first time in my life I have seen that one)

and had a beautifull sunset

Arrived one hour to late in Arequipa and my next bus was at 3:30 in the night ...
