2013 Nov. Colca Canyon.
Set off for our Colca Canyon tour by van, which was even more bumpy. As we were ascending in altitude, we bought some coca leaves to chew on along the way. I am taking drugs, how naughty and exciting! (coca leaves is a common altitude sickness remedy in Peru, but banned and illegal in Singapore). Colca Canyon, one of Peru’s top tourist destinations, is an area of astounding scenic beauty and best known as one of the world’s deepest canyons at 4,160m (13,640 feet).
