Colca Canyon

Hi guys,Cath here, thought iwould giveMark a break.
When we were in Arequipa, sourcing a tyre, Mark got friendly with a lovely guy who was helping him, and reccommended Culca Lodge in Yunca(on the way), as his best mate ran it. We turfed up only to find this luxury lodge with very spendy room rates!The 'best mate' shouted us a great deal, and here we are.
The lodge, we were in 2nd from the far end, but its worth dwelling on the fact, that barely up the road,there are people so poor, that have no health ins, or any help from the govt at any stage in their lives and have a very meagre existence.The young adults,impressed with the wealth that the rich gringos have,move to the city for a better life.But with poor literacy and no skills......
Yep,another flatty.
These guys work flat out, doing everything by hand, this was NOT the baldest tyre, they were still on his truck!
Photo opportunity, all the ladies in their bonnets.
