Testimonies

  “…We had an amazing day where everything fell into place perfectly. The food was exactly what we desired, and we were fortunate enough to have the guidance of two knowledgeable companions”

Ross & Anne Thompson

“We LOVED our tour with David and Ceero! David was very knowledgeable of the birds in all locations and we felt quite comfortable with our driver, Ceero. The breakfast, snacks, and lunch provided were delicious and the locations we went to were awesome. We had a chance to learn about other wildlife (wild guinea pigs!) and interact with local Peruvians on our tour through the mountains. This trip was not just a great bird tour, but a chance to see a different way of life and experience the Andes”  

Amanda Shafer

  "David, our guide, was excellent, and his expertise shows as we saw 54 bird species!!  Breakfast and lunch were tasty and kept us very happy throughout the day!  I would not hesitate to recommend Endemic Peru to my friends when traveling to Peru!  Thank you so much for everything!  I cannot tell you how happy we were!  :)"

Condor in Cuzco One Full day

Departures Every Day!

We leave at 8:00 a.m. from Cusco. After picking you up from your hotel, we head northwest of Cusco in a private car.

Along the way to the conservation area, we travel on paved roads and make several stops to watch other bird species and take photos of the stunning landscapes, if you’re interested.

Once we arrive at Chonta, located at about 11,000 feet (3,350 m), we begin a roughly one-hour walk. If you prefer, you can also ride a horse to reach the best viewpoint for spotting Andean Condors.

Next, we visit the Mirador del Cóndor (Condor Viewpoint), where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Andean Condors soaring gracefully overhead.

We have lunch while admiring the spectacular valley, a prime habitat for Condors in Cusco.

In the Apurímac Valley, seeing Andean Condors is almost guaranteed, and you’ll often have the chance to photograph these magnificent birds up close.

After spending ample time with the Condors, we continue to enjoy sightings of other bird species in this beautiful Apurímac River Valley and the Private Andean Community Conservation Area.
