3 day trek in the COLCA CANYON ...

3 jours de marche dans le Canyon Colca ...

Petit message tout court pour vous dire que nous partons marcher pendant 3 jours (donc pas de panique si vous n'avez pas de nouvelles de nous)...

A quatre heures au nord d'Arequipa au Pérou s'étend l'impressionnant canyon de Colca, le canyon le plus profond du monde avec 3400 m de profondeur. Son point culminant est à 4350 m d'altitude et on trouve le rio Colca dans la vallée. (MERCI Wikipedia)

Pensez a nous et on vous revient avec des photos jeudi. On a besoin de vous savoir avec nous car ca va etre difficile!!!

Off for a 3 day trek (so don't expect to hear from us for the next few days) ...

Colca Canyon is a canyon of the Colca River in southern Peru. It is located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Arequipa. It is one of the deepest canyons in the world at 10,725 ft (3,269 m); it is more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States. However, the canyon's walls are not as vertical as those of the Grand Canyon. The Colca Valley is a colorful Andean valley with towns founded in Spanish Colonial times and formerly inhabited by the Collaguas and the Cabanas. The local people still maintain ancestral traditions and continue to cultivate the pre-Inca stepped terraces.

Back on thursday with photos. Until then, think of us and send Brel (and me) some positive vibes and good energy to make it down and then up again!!!

away comme on dit, c'est la valle des Incas et respirer tranquillement, para no apunarse en las alturas.
Au revoir, jeudi les escargots en las alturas
