The Incas later occupied this valley in the 15th century, where they developed irrigation systems, agricultural terraces, roads and storage facilities known as &#8220;colcas&#8221;. Following the Spanish conquest, the local population was subjected to forced labor systems, leaving behind baroque-style colonial churches as evidence of this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The canyon&#8217;s ecosystem features diverse flora including ichu grass, queu\u00f1a trees, various cacti, torales shrubs and the remarkable Raimondi&#8217;s puya plant. The fauna includes the majestic Andean condor, Andean flamingos, vicu\u00f1as, Andean deer and Andean foxes, with many of these species currently endangered or in vulnerable conservation status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This spectacular canyon has become a premier destination for hiking enthusiasts. Visitors can explore traditional Andean villages, admire ancient Inca terraces, and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the canyon and surrounding mountains. The area also boasts several natural hot springs with therapeutic mineral waters rich in zinc, calcium, iron and other beneficial elements, formed thousands of years ago by volcanic activity in the Andes mountain range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the most notable thermal baths are La Calera in Chivay, Chacapi and Callali in Yanque, and Co\u00f1eymayo in Caylloma. The canyon&#8217;s most famous attraction is the Cruz del C\u00f3ndor (Condor&#8217;s Cross) viewpoint, where visitors can observe the magnificent Andean condor, one of the world&#8217;s largest flying birds, with early morning being the optimal viewing time when these majestic birds are most active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
