Chonta 1 day: the viewpoint of the condors in Cusco

The Condor Viewpoint Chonta Cusco is located in the northwest of the city, over the Apurímac river canyon, in 3 hours driving of the Cusco city.
This beautiful place is a favorite refuge for the birds, especially for the Andean Condor. Where there are more than 100 Andean condors housed along the canyon.
The Andean condor is the largest bird in the world among those who fly, weigh up to 15 kilos, its extended wings reach up to 3 meters and is the only bird that can plan in more than 8 thousand meters of altitude. In ancestral times (Incas) it was considered as one of the deities representatives of the spiritual world (heaven).
