This full-day adventure takes you from Cusco through picturesque valleys and charming Andean villages to the remote community of Chonta. From here, a gentle hike leads to the Chonta Lookout, a privileged vantage point overlooking one of Peru’s deepest canyons — the perfect stage for the iconic Andean condor.
Along the way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, fertile farmlands, and pristine mountain landscapes. At the lookout, you’ll have the rare chance to watch condors gliding effortlessly on thermal currents, their massive wings spanning over three meters. Your expert guide will share insights into their behavior, ecology, and cultural significance to the Andean people.
Andean Condor Flight full-day adventure begins at 7:30 am. with a morning pickup in Cusco, followed by a scenic drive through the Anta plains and Limatambo, with breathtaking views of the Salkantay and Humantay mountains and opportunities to spot native bird species along the way. Upon arrival at the traditional village of Chonta, you’ll set off on a gentle 4 km hike along a panoramic trail overlooking the Apurímac Canyon, leading to the Chonta Lookout. Here, while enjoying a packed lunch, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of Andean condors gliding gracefully on thermal currents, their massive wingspans silhouetted against the vast canyon backdrop. After ample time for observation, photography, and interpretation from your expert guide, you’ll hike back to the village and return to Cusco, arriving in the late afternoon.
The hike is about 4 km (2.5 miles) each way on a well-marked trail with gradual inclines. It’s considered easy to moderate and suitable for most travelers in good health.
Condors can be seen year-round at Chonta, but sightings are often more frequent during the dry season (May to October), when skies are clearer.
While sightings are very common, condors are wild animals and cannot be guaranteed. However, the location is one of the best in Peru for observing them.
No special gear is required, but binoculars and a camera with a zoom lens will enhance your experience. Binocular rentals are available upon request.
Yes. A packed lunch and snacks are provided, with vegetarian options available upon request. Please advise us in advance of any dietary restrictions.
The lookout sits at approximately 3,400 meters (11,155 feet) above sea level. We recommend spending at least a day in Cusco before the tour to acclimate.
You may spot hummingbirds, hawks, caracaras, and other Andean bird species, as well as panoramic views of the Apurímac Canyon and surrounding peaks.
