Mirador Cruz del Cóndor

Fantastic views. While it does cost 70 soles each to enter the Canyon that lasts for 3 days. We stopped here for 2 nights in our camper. Very quiet at night and even when the mini buses arrived most parked up by the view point and off the road Toilet only open in the morning when the tour busses are about. Saw Condors, Andean Fox and a Giant Hummingbird.

A wonderful experience. Get away from the crowds and keep walking the other, quieter view points to the right. When a condor flies over your head you'll be able to hear its wings cutting through the air. It's indescribable.

Spectacular! Very nice to see condors in their habitat. It can get very crowded and not easy to get optimal spot. I was so lucky that the young condor landed on the rocks near me. ❤️ Really absolutely amazing experience! We were on motorcycles tour and riding to the viewing area was stunning, awesome scenery along the way.

One of the best spots in the world to see majestic Andean condors in flight. This scenic viewpoint offers breathtaking views of the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons on Earth. Early morning is the best time to witness condors soaring on the thermal currents. It’s a must-visit for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone wanting a truly unforgettable experience in the Andes.

Fabulous overlook full of tourist busses waiting to see condors. Plan on getting there around 8am and plan at least an hour. The condors start rising with the thermals as the sun hits the valley! And they did not disappoint! It was breathtaking to see how big they actually were because they seemed so small down in the canyon, which just shows how deep the canyon is. When some of the condors actually buzzed the crowd it was such a thrill. Well worth the time spent there. We took a tour with Machu Travel Peru which made it easy. There was a very limited ladies room and quite a long line and you need to bring your own paper. But again still well worth it.

You need to get there very early to get the best viewpoints overlooking the Canyon. We waited one hour before the first Condor took flight. Before long there were at least ten Condors soaring above and below us at the same time. We couldn't leave because of the amazing Condors were still soaring directly above and surrounding us. Our Peruvian Guide said he had never seen so many Condors there soaring in the Canyon en-mass.

FaceTime is between 8 - 9:30 AM. Had a few condors flying over and one actually went right over our head and landed on a rock, which is beautiful to see. Worth a visit.

Its nice. Beautiful views, but i think is overhyped. We saw 6 condors flying today we were very lucky.
