Cañon de los Perdidos, Natural canyon in Ocucaje desert, Peru.
The canyon extends for 5 kilometers through the desert landscape, featuring vertical walls that reach heights between 200 and 300 meters.
The discovery of this geological formation occurred in 2011 when local officials and a journalist ventured into the area and got temporarily lost.
Local guides from Ocucaje share knowledge about the desert formations and wildlife, particularly the presence of vultures that inhabit the canyon walls.
Tours operate from 8 AM to 5 PM daily, requiring advance reservations and including transportation from hotels in the surrounding area.
The canyon contains three distinct access points leading to interior sections, each revealing different natural rock formations and seasonal lagoons.
