Lugar muy hermoso y poco concurrido para ver cóndores y paisajes montañosos. Hay una pequeña caminata hasta el mirador.
Chonta Canyon Condor Watching
Cusco, Peru
A community managed conservation area with a viewpoint that looks over the Apurimac canyon, not far from Cusco city. Reached only by a walk of around 3 kilometers from the community that manages it. Andean condors nest on the far wall and ride the thermals, appearing later in the day rather than at sunrise. Its also possible to spot eagles, hawks, deer, and vizcachas.
Travel tip: Patience and respectful behavior are key to observe the magnificent birds.
