Where it is
Colca Canyon, Peru
PUQIO
Colca Canyon
The Colca Canyon is a geological wonder, culturally rich and in a very untouched part of the country that diverts from Peru’s more popular attractions of Cusco, Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu. This peaceful place is close to colonial towns full of folklore festivals and a blend of Incan and Spanish Catholic traditions.
Cultural Impact
Linking the traditions between Andean culture and condor conservation
