... of the tour group. He had also ordered a birthday cake - what a legend! So, onto hot springs before lunch to cleanse and hopefully relax our tense muscles, then for our celebratory lunch and a challenge for us five to eat all the birthday cake, which we managed easily!!!! Then it was the loooong journey back to Arequipa, stopping once at the highest point, 4900m to see viewpoints of about 6 different volcanoes – from being boiling hot we went to freezing ...

... a sprinkling of cinnamon.

The backdrop of the mountains made for scenes I´ll never forget.<br><br>In the afternoon we hiked down into the canyon itself and to our first hostel. The scenery was staggering.

The owners took it pretty seriuosly though, and more than one fight broke out in the ring for whispering tactics to their bull and excessive testicle tickling! <br><br>Getting to the ring wasn´t a problem as we caught a cab there, but getting back was a a battle in itself. 2,000 people exiting at the same time, all ...
