Walking through an amazing canyon...

After visiting the "Moon" twice, we went for the "Spirits".... At least it isn't clear, the Valley of the Spirits is sometimes also referred to as the Valley of the Moon. There is a huge colourful canyon: Palca Canyon. An extremely beautiful landscape. This is also one of the best walks we took.

 We started a bit higher up the mountain (around 4000 m). In the Valley we followed the river. 

In the background Illimani (6438 m high) is lightly covered with clouds.

We are entering the Palca Canyon

(Here I "glued" two pictures together using "GIMP" and "FastStone" - "Stich"couldn't do it)

Inside the canyon

Part of the rock face looks like Bryce Canyon

At the end Illimani awaits us

Here, in red, you can see the route (from left to tight) we walked. The bus was waiting for us at the other end of the canyon.
