Colca Canyon and Condors
The viewpoint offers great views of the canyon and this is the best place where you can see the andean condors flying over the Colca River.

The best time to see the flight of the Condor’s is between 8AM to 10AM, depending on the weather conditions as during the rainy and cloudy days It won’t be possible to watch the condors.

Cruz del Condor viewpoint is the most popular place for condor’s watching. At this point the canyon floor is 1,200 meters below the rim of the canyon.

This place was originally called Chacllacruz yet is now known by the title of “Mirador Cruz del Condor” (Condor’s Cross) for two reasons: one, for the flyovers performed in this area by this famous Andean bird, especially in the morning, and two, because of the stone cross built overtop a striking stone promontory.
