La Posada del Puente Restaurant

by besbel about La Posada del Puente Restaurant

This restaurant, one of the fanciest in town, belongs to La Posada del Puente hotel, but it is open to all public. It has a great location (next to river Chili, with an outstanding view of Misti volcano), its menu is variated (you can find from local dishes like chupe de camarones and queso helado to vegetarian and international food) and its ambiance is neat, with half of the tables under roof and the other half in the gardens, next to the river. At night, candles are lighted up in all tables and a pianoman performs during the weekends. It prepares the most delicious "queso helado" that I've tried. "Queso helado" is a typical Arequipean dessert consisting of iced milk previosly boiled and seasoned with vanilla, some coconut and a yolk. It's decorated with cinammon

Colca Canyon - Cruz del Condor

by Amareyui

After the night in Chivay, we got up early and headed for Cruz del Condor. There wasnt anything when we arrived, but at around 9 o'clock a few (4, I think) started to show up and glided around.
I think the pattern goes like this, please correct me if you find them to be false.
The male condor has black feathers, female has brown feather, and infant's feather is black/brown and white.
