Discover Chonta Canyon, home of the majestic Andean condor, on this private excursion from Cusco. You'll also visit the mystical archaeological sites of Tarawasi and Killarumiyoq along the way!
Description
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up right from your Cusco hotel and start this excursion to Chonta Canyon. On the way, we'll make a stop in a town called Anta, where you'll have the option to join a guided visit to Killarumiyoq, an Inca archaeological site thought to be dedicated to the moon.
The tour will then leave Anta and head to the village of Limatambo, where you'll have the opportunity to visit the Tarawasi ruins and admire ancient ceremonial stone altars, known as 'usnu.'
After exploring these archaeological gems, the group will set off for Chonta Canyon, crossing over the Huayronka Bridge. Taking in magnificent views throughout the trip, we'll make our way to the famous viewpoint.
An hour's journey will take us to three vantage points with sweeping views, where you'll witness the famous Andean condor take to the skies. As it's one of the largest birds on earth, the Andean condor requires windy areas to be able to glide through the air with minimum effort. An extraordinary sight to see!
At the Chonta viewpoint, you'll have 2 hours of free time to marvel at the spectacular views and unique wildlife, and of course, take all the photos your heart desires! After the break, we'll return to the vehicle and head back to Cusco, ending a day full of nature, culture and history. Finally, after 12 hours of activity, we'll arrive back at your hotel.
