Overview
Condor Chonta Cusco Viewpoint. It is located in the Apurímac River Canyon in the Chonta Community in the Limatambo-Cusco district, 70 kilometers and 2 hours by bus from the Imperial City of Cusco.
The Chonta Condor Viewpoint is one of the new attractions. This Condor viewpoint is the closest that we can locate in Cusco. From this you can see the flight of the Andean condor.
Which is one of the most famous natural spectacles in the Andes.
The site has three viewpoints from which you can see the Apurimac River canyon.
The third viewpoint, the furthest and highest, is the favorite of visitors. From there you can enjoy the flight of up to ten Andean condors (depending on the weather and time of visit).
