The most fascinating CANYON, right in the middle of what is called the Land of the Flame, because its in the area where we can find a lot of volcanoes, and some of them are still active, in this place we can still see Condors, the biggest flying birds which were considered as Sacred birds in the Incan times. The canyon itself is impressive.
