Once we get to Chonta which is located at 11 000 feet high (3350 m.a.s.l.) from we will start to go walking for about one hour, you might even go horse riding to the best view point for Andean Condors, then we head to the Mirador del Condor (Condor’s viewpoint) where we will enjoy the fascinating view of Andean Condors flying and soaring around you.
We have our lunch enjoing the great valley for Condors in Cuzco.
