The Condor sighting Cusco, is one of the ultimate tours in Cusco. An excellent day tour to visit one of the lesser travel wonders of Cusco in Peru. “The Magical Condor flight” at the lookout of Chonta canyon. This place commands mind-boggling views across a beautiful landscape of Apurimac canyon. Also you will see some tall glaciers as Salkantay and Humantay in the distance.

The Condor sighting Cusco tour, takes you on seeking the largest bird flying of the Andes mountains. The spectacular Andean Condor overflying the Chonta canyon. Which forms part of big Apurimac canyon near to Cusco. Chonta canyon is one of the deepest canyons in Peru. So this is where a great number of Andean Condors nest and live.
As part of Condor sighting Cusco tour you will go in a short and moderate hiking activity on the way to the lookout in Chonta. This awe-inspiring new trip is our suggestion for those looking for non-traditional tours. Specially for those who missed to travel to Colca canyon in Arequipa to see the Andean Condors.
At 8:00 am you will be picked up from the hotel in Cusco. Then driving for 2 hours you will arrive to Limatambo. A beautiful valley with lots of avocado plantations and sub-tropical climate. Where travelers can buy some last minute supplies as water and snacks. Because Chonta is a very small Andean village without shops or restaurants.
From Limatambo, we will follow a narrow dirt road with direction to Chonta community (3,400 m). We then have a moderate hike for 1 ½ hour to reach out the lookout of Condors. There will be great views of the Apurimac canyon and Vilcabamba mountain range. With a little bit of luck we will spot some of the Condors overflying the canyon.
In the afternoon we will walk back to Chonta. As well as we arrive in the parking place, we will board our van; then drive for 3 hours to get back to Cusco city.
