hour to wait for the next bus, and eventually the fog did clear at our level - but not from in the canyon itself. By this time we figured our luck just wasn’t in and it was time to head back to the hotel to pick up our bags and head off back to Arequipa.

We caught up with our internet stuff the next day and spoke to a few people on skype before heading off that evening for our overnight bus to Cuzco, the Inca
