Colca: Day 2



We spent the first part of the second day hiking up and down the side of the canyon visiting different villages populated by four to twenty families each. Our trek that day ended at the base of our next day's hike in a little alcove of blue painted pools filled and refreshed constantly with naturally warm water from waterfalls that poured out of the side of one of the mountains that formed the canyon. The pools were surrounded by huts, which contained straw beds that under normal conditions might be uncomfortable, but we slept like wood and snored like chainsaws after a long day of hiking and a short afternoon of soaking.
