Colca Canyon Condor Watching

Arequipa, Peru

The Mirador Cruz del Cóndor in the Colca Canyon is a cliffside viewpoint suspended over one of the world's deepest gorges, offering a breathtaking space to witness the flight of endangered Andean condors. It is easy accessible by car and has multiple walkable paths and stops to avoid overcrowding. The conservation area has clear rules of no feeding, no drones and no calling the birds.

Travel tip: Condors are more active in the morning, between 8:00am - 10:00am.

Una linda experiencia, multiples miradores de donde observar cóndores. Recomendable ir en la tarde para evitar el sol intenso y buses grandes de turismo.

Una experiencia inolvidable en el cañón del Colca. Ver a los cóndores volar con tanta majestuosidad, libertad e independencia fue realmente impresionante. Un lugar perfecto para admirar la fauna a distancia y con respeto.
