A beautiful valley leading to the world´s deepest canyon. You arrive there through the dry, high altiplano. A place that sucks the moisture out of your eyes, where llamas, alpacas and vicunas wander free and you wonder how anyone can ever survive living there.
The canon now is a bit of a tourist mecca with 400 cameras being pointed at the soaring condors. We stayed with a lovely family in a village called Yanque (something to do with the Americans I think) a bit away from tour central. It was an amazingly peaceful place. To bed at 8pm, up with the light. The majority of the inhabitants working in the fields all day. Quinoa is the main crop which I had never realised was such a beautiful plant.
