The Cotahuasi Canyon of Peru is the world's deepest canyon

The Grand Canyon is about 1737 meters deep - a little a mile. However the deepest canyon in the world is the Western CWM in Nepal on Mountain Everest where heat gets trapped and it gets so hot that the snow melts.

The answer depends largely on where you are along the Canyon...Grand Canyon Village is on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon at an elevation just short of 7,000 feet. The river is about 2,000 feet above sea level, so the depth of the Canyon from Grand Canyon Village is around 5,000 feet.
