Cabanaconde

To finish our hike through Colca cañon we had to get up super early at 4:15 a.m. and by 4:30 a.m. be ready to hike the 1 200 meters of elevation.
Thankfully as it was pitch black outside and we were still sleepy, the first part of the journey was just about watching your step and trying to wake up.
After about an hour, the sun started making it's way to the sky and with every inch, the valley looked more and more beautiful.
The hike itself wasn't as difficult as we thought it would be and with a steady pace, we made it to the top in 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Already there were cheering for us Daniel and Luke from our group. We wrapped up as it felt colder then in oasis and patiently waited for others to hike up.
Main character of our group, an Israeli with nickname "Lobo", was greeted with huge cheers and shouts from us.
Within two hours, everyone was up and we could continue towards Cabanaconde for breakfast where we got scrambled eggs and nice bread. Now it was just waiting for bus that would take us back to Arequipa.Les mer
