Today I have nothing planned for the first time, I'm just gonna be lazy in Arequipa. I've uploaded some more pictures of El Misti to the album below (there were only six pics before) [Update: added two more pics sent by Daan]. I've also uploaded new pictures of the Huayna Potosi trip, mostly of our first training day but also the only picture I made during our nightly climb to the summit. They're all in the first half of the album:

Tomorrow I'm setting out on a three-day trek around Colca Canyon, the world's second deepest canyon at over 3000m deep. The world's deepest one is right next to it but Colca is the more spectacular and popular one apparently. I have little idea what to expect, I just know it's part of the typical gringo tour of Peru and heard rave comments about it from fellow travelers. The only thing I know is that the third morning we'll go to Cruz del Condor where huge condors (the biggest birds of prey I think) supposedly fly right over your head - sounds good! Check back in three days to hear how it was.
