We have had an amazing week in Peru. Scaling the heights of 5,000m, seeing the 4,000m Colca Canyon (from above), spotting Condors….. and a couple of walks at altitude in preparation for one of the highlights of our Round the World Trip – the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
So not many words – instead a few photographs. Promise to report back in about a week with news of our Inca adventure.
