CHONTA, CONDOR VIEWPOINT

•  Duration:  2 days

Day 1: Cusco – Chonta Community

Departure from the hotel at 5 am to drive through the highlands to the Chonta community, a 3-hour journey. Once there we will have a coffee break before starting the walk towards Apurimac Canyon, enjoying the spectacular landscape as we go (1.5-hour journey) and spotting some mountain birds on the way. This tour is made even more unforgettable by the experience of witnessing the condors flying over the Apurimac Canyon. This will be the momento to showcase your photography skills as the majestic condors fly above you, sometimes right above your head. We will spend most of the day here, and when we finish our activities, we will settle into the campsite to spend the night in the Chonta community (3,600 m.a.s.l.).

Day 2: Chonta Community – Cusco

Early morning departure and hike through the town of Chonta to observe local birds and a spectacular view of Humantay’s snow peak, which is a great time to photograph nature and the sunrise. After this early morning visit, we will return for breakfast. We will drive over to Limatambo and stop at the Inca site called Tarawasi, one of the impressive stone works made by the Andean civilization. At the end of the day, we will make the return journey back to Cusco.
