Colca Canyon - a geological paradise
 


Deep within the Andes Mountains of southern Peru courses one of the most spectacular rivers in the world! The Colca River originates high on the wind-swept peaks of Condorama Crucero Alto and flows downstream over the course of several hundred kilometers, dropping through a canyon measured at a depth of 10,725 feet. Accessible only via raft or kayak, few people have yet witnessed the wonders of Colca Canyon since its 1981 first descent. The canyon features fantastic geologic features, colossal riverside waterfalls, and an abundant population of gigantic (10 foot wingspan!) Andean condors. Due to the combination of demanding whitewater and sheer inaccessibility, an expedition through the Colca Canyon is reserved for the true adventurer!
