Verified Traveling to Neotropical Peru gave me an extraordinary experience. Neotropic Peru Travel provided me with an absolutely amazing experience. This was one of the most remarkable travel experiences I've ever had since every detail, from the initial question to the last goodbye, was carefully managed. The professionalism, kindness, and local experience displayed by the entire team set this firm apart from the rest.Posted onVerified A Must for Bird Lovers If you love birds, book this tour. We explored some amazing birding spots in the Sacred Valley and spotted over 50 species in one morning! Our guide had a spotting scope, knew every call, and helped us get awesome photos. Super peaceful, educational, and so rewarding. Definitely a highlight of our trip.Posted onVerified We joined a Manu National Park birdwatching tour with Neotropic Peru Travel and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was well organized and comfortable, but the real highlight was our guide, José Luis. He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable about birds, but also super patient and enthusiastic. We spotted over 180 species in just a few days—including the Cock-of-the-Rock and the elusive Razor-billed Curassow. The lodges were cozy, the forest was magical, and the vibe was peaceful. Perfect for any bird lover!Posted onVerified Amazing Manu. We had an amazing experience in the Manu. We was four days walking throw the rain forest, seeing birds, insects, monkeys and a cayman. Jose was an excelente guide.Posted onVerified Fun in the rainforest My favorite part was taking the time to stop to look for birds/animals throughout the trip. Actually hiking through the forest was a pretty low intensive but full of plants and animals as well. Our guide Pepe was incredibly knowledgeableThe food was incrediblePosted onVerified One-day birding in Cusco We loved going birding with Jose Luis from Neotropic Peru. Our day started very early with a visit to a lake near Cusco, where we saw lots of waterfowls (some of which were new to me). In the afternoon, we visited Ensifera Camp, where we had some good views of beautiful and endemic hummingbirds. Our day ended tasting a typical Peruvian chicha at a local "chichería" before heading back to Cusco.Posted onVerified Extraordianrio Todo estuvo super organizado no tuve inconvenicencias con el recojo , hicieron que mi experiencia sea inolvidable me llevo un gran recuerdo de mi visita a machupicchu.

He even made all of my proffesional photos… Loved it and will come back again for sure!!!Posted onVerified Nature walk with Josè in Inkaterra The Nature Walk with Josè was amazing.

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.
