We woke up early and proceeded drove a few miles through dirt road from the Colca Valley and entered the Colca Canyon. We drove through a narrow dirt road for about 2 hours. Went through a few small towns and several artisan vendors along the road where Mark and Lynn explored each and every item of merchandise with intense desire in their expressions and occasional modeling of sweaters and hats. 
We finally arrived to the Cruz del Condor to observe the condors. We first saw nothing. We then saw a condor sitting on a rock far away and we thought that was it. All of a sudden condors started flying and we enjoyed some of the most beautiful sights ever seen with condors flying right and left and some of them in tandem (see picture). They flew for almost an hour and it was simply amazing. By the way, the deepest part of the Colca Canyon is twice as deep as the Great Canyon making it the deepest canyon in the world with several thousand feet in depth.
