The next day we carried on deeper into the canyon. We many short stops along the way, one of my favorites was the small village, Cabanaconde. We had a colca sour, a version of a pisco sour made with cactus fruit, that calmed our stomachs and quieted the headaches caused by the elevation. We also had a close visit with big birds and llamas. We finished our tour at the cross-Cruz Del Condor where we spent time observing and photographing the Andean Condors and the gorgeous landscape.
The bus backtracked to Chivay to drop some our group to transfer to their next destinations while Jen and I plus our friends from Sweden carried on to Puno. Not on the commercial bus we had arranged, but in the Mercedes tour bus. It was a six hour journey, it seemed a little wasteful but it was really nice to be dropped right at our hotels, tired, late, and feeling completely rung out from the elevation and lack of sleep.
