DAY 1

Spot Condors through the Apurimac Canyon

Spectacular excursion to one of the deepest canyons in Peru. Observe the powerful giant birds of the condors in the surroundings of the Chonta community above the Limatambo Valley.

At 07:00 a.m., we start the trip to the northwest of Cusco, crossing Anta’s plains until we descend towards the Limatambo Valley. Along the way, explore the ruins of Quillarrumiyoc, better known as the temple of the moon. Quillarumiyoc contains several ancestral spaces. Quillarrumiyoc’s tourist attraction is the temple of the moon, a crescent-shaped natural stone formation with stepped carvings oriented towards the sunrise.

CONTINUE THE TRIP TO Chonta

Chonta already has incredible panoramic views of the Salkantay glacier, the Apurimac Canyon, and the fantastic Peruvian Andes.

There is a walk of around 37 minutes to visit the four viewpoints to see the condor’s flight in its natural state. Generally, 2 to 17 condors fly over the reefs of the Apurimac Canyon.
