Colca Canyon, Peru

From Bonnie Hamre, About.com

The Colca river begins high in the Andes, at Condorama Crucero Alto, drops down to the Pacific in stages, changing its name to Majes and then Camana as it goes. Where it runs between the tiny mountain villages of Chivay to Cabanaconde is a deep canyon known as the Colca Canyon. Here, condors soar above the canyons and high into the thin mountair air.
