Warming up
As a warm up for the Inca Trail we decided to hike the Colca Canyon (the deepest canyon in the world) as a two day trek. We hiked down in to the canyon on day one and had the pleasure of staying at an “intresting” hostel. It only had one matrimonial suite which, after drawing straws between the couples present, we won! It consisted of a mud brick hut with a thatched roof, one double bed (with a severe roll-together problem), one candle (no electricity) and a scorpion next to the door; luxury! Day two required us to hike out of the canyon which involved a 1,200m climb (i.e. a vertical mile!!). We were then suitably warmed up. We also got to see condors flying over us.
