Two-Day Hike to Colca Canyon: Overcoming Altitude & Steep Trails

Join me in this video while we hike over 2 days to Colca Canyon - the second-deepest canyon in the world!
Day 1:
We got picked up early from Arequipa at 3 am and got driven for 3 hours to the Condor Cross at a staggering altitude of 3630 meters where we had breakfast in -1C weather. We then spent some time gazing across the canyon spotting wild condors soaring over the mountains!
We then began our descent at 8 am and had to keep a slow pace since the trek was so steep downhill. With only a 30-minute break for lunch, we arrived at our camp at sunset, hiking for a total of 9.5 hours. It was a tiring day with a couple of falls and sore feet and knees!
Day 2:
We were in so much pain from hiking downhill all day, so to save our feet we decided to get a mule to take us back to the top. After some hot coca tea to help with the altitude, we headed to some hot springs to help soothe our muscles - so relaxing! Further up at the peak of the volcanoes, we were greeted with some breathtaking views at 4900 meters altitude! We also saw some wild alpacas and llamas before falling asleep on the bus and arriving back in Arequipa.
