The Colca Canyon in Peru boasts the status of the second deepest in the world and the source of the Amazon river. Most people decide for a one day tour to Colca Canyon with an agency from Arequipa, which is a pity. From hot springs to hiking and watching condors, there are loads of things to do in Colca.
