Travel information

One day Chonta Tour takes you to watch condors soaring in their natural habitat in the Apurimaq canyon near Cusco. It is remarkable scenery, beautiful nature, and great for birders. Join us on an unforgettable day journey to the reserve zone of Chonta at 3,400m, where you will witness the soaring of the majestic Andean condor (vultur gryphus) in his entire impressive splendor to the backdrop of terrific scenery.

The Andean condor is the largest flying land bird with a wing span of up to over three meters and a body weight of up to 15 kg. Although the Andean condor is largely a carrion feeder he may also prey upon newly born livestock or weak and sick animals. In Andean cosmology the condor is considered an “Apu”, the messenger of the gods who also transports the souls of the departed into the spirit realms. The condor represents the Hanaq Pacha, the outer and upper world, the cosmos as such.
