Steamboat's Eugene Buchanan prepares to drop into Peru's Colca Canyon in his kayak late last month. Buchanan traveled to Peru with an expedition that had hoped to trek 20 miles of the canyon that never had before been traveled. The group, consisting mostly of Polish explorers, made it six miles, but they had to climb out after food and supplies ran low on the sixth day.
