Condor over Colca Canyon

A Condor soaring over the Colca Canyon, Peru. Every morning, the Condors swoop down the canyon. They are enormous birds, with wingspans of 3 metres.

The canyon is the second deepest in the world (twice as deep as the Grand Canyon). The deepest is the Cotahuasi canyon, nearby.
