The Condor Canyon in Cusco

The Condor Canyon is one of the promises for travelers looking for new things to do in Cusco. And also a great alternative for those who could not stop by Colca Canyon in Arequipa to watch the flight of the Condors.

Mirador Natural de Huaco
Mirador Natural de Huaco - Cruz del Condor

From El Mirador Natural de Huaco you can appreciate many Condors that come down From Salkantay and fly around the area.

To reach this viewpoint, which is situated on 3,400 meters (11,154 ft) above sea level, you need to hike one hour from Chonta Community on Limatambo district of Cusco.

This area is also known for the Inca Ruins of Tarawasi. Which are just a few kilometers before the town of Limatambo. So if you have time and wish to do something off the beaten path we recommend to check this area!

Limatambo is on the way to Abancay and also to Cachora, the entrance to Choquequirao Trek. You can take a public bus from Cusco, it is only an 1 hour ride.
