Chivay

Chivay is a town in southern Peru's Colca Valley. It's the gateway to the deep Colca Canyon, comprising a green valley and remote traditional villages with terraced agriculture that pre-dates the Incas. West of town, Andean condors circle above the Cruz del Condór viewpoint, which overlooks the Colca River. Northeast of the town center, La Calera hot-springs complex has several pools and a small cultural museum.
