A great and closer alternative for those who were thinking about going to Colca Canyon, but simply are unable to do so because of limitations on time. In the equally impressive Chonta Canyon, you will not only be able to appreciate the flight of the Andean Condor in the Chonta Condors Viewpoint, the largest flying bird in the world, but you will be able to witness breathtaking landscapes and a stunning view of the Apurímac River as well. On top of that, it only takes a relatively easy hike of approximately 45 minutes until you reach the viewpoints. So, what are you waiting for? Do not miss this opportunity to enjoy this amazing tour and to appreciate condors in their natural habitat.
