The Colca Canyon is an impressive geological formation in the Volcanic Mountain Range, stretching for 100 km and descending to a depth of 3,400 m. of height, which is considered the second deepest of the world. There are many volcanoes, impressive in terms of height and activity, such as Mt. Ampato rising 6,310 m above sea level, and Mt. Coropuna, 6,425 m.a.s.l. The river and valley were well-known to the Incas and their predecessors, and the Spaniards laid out townships along the valley, no doubt planning to use Rio Colca valley as the route to Cuzco and other Andean locations.
