At a depth of 4,160 meters (13,650 ft.), the Colca Canyon is the world’s deepest canyon – more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States, it is Peru’s third most-visited tourist destination with 120,000 visitors each year.

The Colca Valley gets its name from the mud and stone granaries built into the cliffs or caves, called “colcas,” where pre-Inca cultures would store crops and seeds. The area was first inhabited by the Quechua-speaking Cabanas, descendants of the Wari, and the Aymara-speaking Collaguas cultures, from the Lake Titicaca region. They constructed large expanses of agricultural terraces and an irrigation system to water their crops.

Colca-Arequipa 14 plains of Majes, it is known as the Majes River, and then is known as the Camana before reaching the pacific ocean at the town of that name.
The Majes River was believed by the Incas to flow directly into the Milky Way. For this reason, they often put sacrifices and gifts to the gods in the river for it to flow to them. Within the province of caylloma it is known as the "Colca Valley" between Callalli and Pinchollo/Madrigal. Down to Huambo it is known as the Colca Canyon. The town of Chivay is located at the midpoint of the Colca valley. Above Chivay, at an elevation of 3,500 metres (11,500 ft), agriculture gives way to livestock raising, principally alpacas and llamas, with some sheep and dairy cattle as well. Below Chivay the valley presents intensely terraced landscapes, continuing for many kilometers downstream. Within the deepening valley downriver, a series of small villages is spread out over the approximately 56 kilometres (35 mi) between Chivay and the village of Cabanaconde. The canyon reaches its greatest depth in the region of Huambo, where the river has an elevation of 1,066 metres (3,497 ft). In contrast, 24 kilometres (15 mi) to the southeast of Cabanaconde rises the 6,288 metres (20,630 ft) high Ampato, a snow-capped extinct volcano.

PATALLACTA

Patallacta (possibly from  Quechua  pata elevated place / above, at the top / edge, bank (of a river), shore, llaqta place (village, town, city, country, nation), "settlement on a platform"  pronounced "pahta-yakta"), Llactapata or Q'ente Marka (possibly from Quechua q'inti hummingbird, marka village, "hummingbird village") is an archaeological site in Peru located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District. It is situated southeast of the site Machu Picchu, at the confluence of the rivers Cusichaca and Vilcanota on a mountain named Patallacta.

This site housed many occupants, including travellers and soldiers who manned the nearby "hill fort" of Willkaraqay, and a shrine with rounded walls known as Pulpituyuq that had religious and ceremonial functions.
Patallacta was burned by Manco Inca Yupanqui, who destroyed a number of settlements along the Inca Road system during his retreat from Cusco in 1536 to discourage Spanish pursuit. In part due to these efforts, the Spanish never discovered the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu or any of its settlements.

CLAUSTROS DE LA COMPAÑIA

This architectural complex is entirely made with sillar (white and volcanic stone of Arequipa). It is a real pleasure to see it. In the middle of the patio, there is a fountain and arcades carved with floral designs. Today, this patio houses high-end handicraft shops, and on the first floor there is an elegant bar that is worth seeing.

With its seasonally snow-capped, symmetrical cone, Misti stands at 5,822 metres (19,101 ft) above sea level and lies between mount Chachani (6,075 m or 19,931 ft) and Pichu Pichu volcano (5,669 m or 18,599 ft). Its last eruption was in 1985 (37 years ago), 198 years after its previous documented eruption.

Tobogán natural Iscozacín
Este tobogán natural se encuentra dentro de la Reserva Nacional de Biósfera Oxapampa Asháninka Yánesha en el distrito de Palcazú. Iscozacín está formado por rocas que se han moldeado con el tiempo y por el agua volviéndose resbaladizas. De esta forma, se han formado toboganes naturales de agua.
El tobogán es bastante ancho, lo cual permite que varias personas puedan lanzarse al mismo tiempo. Después de deslizarse, caerás en una poza de agua cristalina. Muchos de los que llegan a este tobogán aprovechan la caída para tomar hermosas fotografías con vistas panorámicas a la Reserva Nacional.

MISTI VOLCANO
Misti has three concentric craters. Active fumaroles (volcanic gas vents) can be seen in the inner crater. Near the inner crater, six Inca Mummies and rare Inca artifacts were found in 1998 during a month-long excavation directed by archaeologists Johan Reinhard and Jose Antonio Chavez. These findings are currently stored at the Museo de Santuarios Andinos in Arequipa.
The volcano has two main climbing routes. The Pastores route starts at 3,300 metres (10,800 ft). Usually a camp is made at 4,500 metres (14,800 ft) at Nido de Aguilas. The Aguada Blanca route starts at 4,000 metres (13,100 ft) near the Aguada Blanca reservoir, and a camp is made at 4,800 metres (15,700 ft) at Monte Blanco (the camp is named after Mont Blanc, the summit of which is approximately the same elevation as the camp). Neither climbing route presents technical difficulties, but both are considered strenuous because of the steep loose sand slopes.

COLCA VALLEY

This beautiful Canyon offers one of the most essential ecosystems for a large number of animal species. Among them llamas, guanacos, alpacas, and even pumas. But the animal that takes all the leading role is the Andean Condor. One of the many endangered species that inhabit our country.

COLCA CANYON AND THE ANDEAN CONDOR

The canyon is home to the Andean condor (Vultur gryphus), a species that has been the focus of worldwide conservation efforts. The condors can be seen at close range as they fly past the canyon walls, and are a popular attraction. The Andean Condor typically lives about 60–70 years, and has a wingspan of about 2.1–2.7 metres (7–9 ft). It is commonly referred to as the "Eternity Bird," as the bird is a symbol of long life and eternity. 'Cruz del Condor' is a popular tourist stop to view the condors. At this point the canyon floor is 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) below the rim of the canyon.

PACA LAKE
Lake Paca is one of the three lakes in the Mantaro River Valley in the central highlands of Peru formed by high Cordillera ranges, which has three tributary valleys known as the Masma, the Paca and the Yanamarca. Laguna Paca is the only lake in the Paca valley which has water throughout the year. However, floating mats of rushes and sedges cover the south side of the lake. The lake itself does not drain out, as like the other lakes in the valleys, has been “filled up by interglacial fill, and alluvial and eolian sedimentation.” The river that originates in this valley, is called the Mantaro River. It flows near the Jauja town into a large alluvial plain. Formation of this region and its lake system is attributed to diverse sedimentary, glacial and tectonic activity. The valley formation is dated to the Late Pliocene and early Pleistocene uplift unconformity. Laguna de Paca covers an area of 21.4 square kilometres (8.3 sq mi).

The alpaca (Lama pacos) is a species of South American camelid mammal. It is similar to, and often confused with, the llama. However, alpacas are often noticeably smaller than llamas. The two animals are closely related and can successfully crossbreed. Both species are believed to have been domesticated from their wild relatives, the vicuña and guanaco. There are two breeds of alpaca: the Suri alpaca and the Huacaya alpaca.

NAZCA LINES
The Nazca Lines are a collection of giant geoglyphs—designs or motifs etched into the ground—located in the Peruvian coastal plain about 250 miles (400 kilometers) south of Lima, Peru. Created by the ancient Nazca culture in South America, and depicting various plants, animals, and shapes, the 2,000-year-old Nazca Lines can only be fully appreciated when viewed from the air given their massive size. Despite being studied for over 80 years, the geoglyphs—which were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994—are still a mystery to researchers.
