Visited the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyon in the world, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon. But the highlight of the trip was to spot condors at Cruz del Condor. The canyon is home to the Andean condors. From the viewpoint, we could admire the majestic condors soaring over the canyon. Each condor can spread their wings to around 2m wide. So like National Geographic! There was one that even soar right above our heads. Was really an jaw dropping sight!

Somehow, condors reminds me of Jin Yong Xiao Shuo. Guess it´s the novels that ¨majestify¨ these birds in my impression. And now that the condors soared right in front of my own eyes, it makes the experience even more unforgettable.
