I did it again. I wandered off the usual tourist areas while exploring the area around my youth hostel.

During my exploration of the other side of the river in Arequipa (Peru), I found out where and how the taxi drivers wash their cars. I was somehow surprised, yet how else should they wash their cars?

Condors in the Colca Canyon

Seeing the condors at the Colca Canyon near Arequipa (Peru) was one of the most amazing things in 2007. Note that these pictures where taken with a Canon IXUS 400 (Power Shoot in America) with a 4xZoom, now you can imagine how close these birdies were ;)

The place is called Colca Canyon, it can be reached quite easily from Arequipa of the biggest towns of Peru. As you can guess it is part of the usual tourist tours there and I can highly recommend it.
