To the north of Arequipa is the
higher course of the Colca river valley which deep canyon is
renowned among rafters. The section previous to the canyon
consists of an encased valley that runs from east to west,
beginning in the cold puna and running down to warmer regions,
showing its great scenic beauty and cultural attractiveness. Usually, in
such a deep valley, the rising winds are surprisingly
strong which big condors take advantage of to soar into
the sky easily. Between Maca and Cabanaconde, where winds are even stronger, is the Cruz
del Condor, an observation point, perfect for watching
the condors while they fly majestically
