Worth agreeing on before you meet
Condor Reverence
The Andean condor is sacred in Andean culture. It represents the Hanan Pacha (upper world) in the Andean cosmovision and is considered a messenger between the living and the gods. Watching the condors in respectful silence is appropriate. Do not throw objects or make excessive noise to attract them.
Pachamama & the Mountains
The Colca Valley communities maintain deep Andean spiritual traditions. Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (mountain spirits) are revered. The stone cairns (apachetas) on mountain passes are offerings, so add a stone if you wish, and never take one. Pouring a drop of your drink on the earth before drinking (ch'alla) honours Pachamama.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Colca Canyon travel guide.
