Canyons and Condors and Colonial Stuff

Tuesday, July 19th, 2005

16 Jul – 19 Jul, 2005

Arequipa. On the map, it looks like we are getting to the coast. But, it’s still 2300metres. Getting lower, but still a long way up.

Arequipa. Home of Juanita, “The Ice Princess”. She was found frozen in the high Andes, frozen only a matter of hours after she was sacrificed several hundred years ago. And so she remains, now on display in a glass freezer that keeps her at 50 degrees or so below zero. Bundled in a tight ball with ice encrusted all over her, she is so like Joanne at night, despite finding all available blankets. Yes, my wife is the other “Juanita Princesa de Hielo”.

Nice Colonial architecture is found throughout the city, with the Monasterio de Santa Catalina a definite highlight. For centuries, it was a city within the city, with the nuns living a cloistered life that was not as focused on poverty as many of their contemporaries. When Rome found out, they sent down one of their best to set matters straight. She must have been a fun lady…

Monasterio de Santa Catalina

A full day bumping along unmade roads to Colca Canyon (one of the deepest in the world) culminated in a trip highlight at Condor Cross. Here, we sat for a couple of hours, watching these spectacular birds rising on morning air currents. Who knows how many we saw? Of course, they went out of sight, and returned, but at one point we could count 10 in the air. 8 of these were flying “together” and one by one flew directly over our heads, within 2 or 3 metres. We estimated seeing 15 to 20, in all. When they flew close, we could see their expressions. Did one wink at us? The head was nodding and bobbing as it flew as if it was checking out the assembled crowd and was giving its approval. Did that one just do a rubber neck stare at Jo as it flew past? We felt like it was a performance, and they were actors who set out to engage every member of the audience individually.

Machu Picchu

Friday, June 17th, 2005

17 Jun, 2005

Machu Picchu
Before sunrise.

We got up insanely early (you kind of feel you should be making a sacrifice for these things) at 5.00 (impressed?). That got us up there in time to watch the sunrise over Machu Picchu. It was just so beautiful. Not to mention a few llamas casually wandering around, what more could you want? We hiked up a trail for a brilliant view from the other side of Machu Picchu, just amazing. Met a Perth couple who had literally just become engaged (he proposed as the first rays of sun hit Machu Picchu!!)

Machu Picchu
A local enjoys the classic view.

Machu Picchu
High above. View from Huayna Picchu.

Then it was time to avoid the crowds (daytrippers coming up from Cusco in large groups were starting to arrive), so walked along another side trail for a bit to have lunch, and by the time we got back to the ruins the crowds had disappeared. At the moment over 1000 people a day visit Machu Picchu (most of them between 11am and 2 pm, so during those hours it is impossible to move).

Stayed for 11 hours altogether, and watched the sun set over the ruins as we munched on Pringles, nice way to finish the day!!!
