On the edge of the deepest canyon in the world. It was hot and sunny during the day but really chilly as soon as the sun went down.

On our first trip, we got only part of the way into the canyon and had to stop because Don was spewing from both ends, suffering from the altitude sickness and some bad bus food. The altitude varies from 3400 meters to 4500 meters at the top and plunges to 1200 meters in the valley. It was worth a second look, if only to see the condors. "Vale La Pena"
