Er waren enkel giftige planten bij het breken daarvan, en geen uiterst gevaarlijke slangen. Bovendien kan je in deze op 1 na diepste vallei van de wereld voortdurend ver voor je uit kijken, en aldus de dorpen die talloze kilometers ...
Cabanaconde
Nach einer viel zu langen Busfahrt kamen wir nachmittags in Cabanaconde an, von wo aus wir unsere 2-taegige Wanderung in den Canyon gestartet haben.
In Arequipa haben wir uns mit kleinen Rucksaecken ausgestattet, somit konnten wir (wenn auch nur 2 Tage) endlich mal mit leichtem Gepaeck verbringen.
