The Mirador del Condor Cusco Tour starts with the pick-up from your hotel around 7:00 am. Then, we continue towards Limatambo. During the tour, we will visit 2 beautiful and interesting archaeological sites: Killarumiyoc and Tarawasi that possibly were used as astronomical observatories by the Incas. After that, we will continue to the village of Limatambo (2,554 meters/8,379 feet) where we will taste lunch.

Afterward, the Chonta Condor Viewpoint tour continues with a panoramic view of the community of Chonta (3,430 meters/11,253 feet) in front of the imposing snowy Salkantay. Then, after having walked for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes we will arrive at the first viewpoint: Huaco (3,400 meters/11,154 feet).

Here, from the Mirador de Chonta, we will have a spectacular view of the entire canyon. In addition, we will have the chance to see the impressive flight of the Andean Condor in its natural habitat.

The condor is the largest bird of prey in the world. In the same line, it is considered a sacred bird by the Incas.

After that, we will return to Cusco arriving at approximately 20:00, ending the Mirador del Condor Cusco tour.
