Condors in the Andes

In the valley of the Colca Canjon in the Andes of Peru

can in the mornings be admired at Cruz del Condor
a spectacular show when the Condors rise:
they nest in 2010 just below the ledges on which
the different tourist do collect and rise above the
canyon, which is at that place already around 1,200
meters deep, into the sky.
Often they revolve so deep that they fly just a
few meters above the heads of the watching people.
A Sizeof grandeur and grace and freedom can be
experianced in these powerful animals. And again
the Lonely Planet 2007 abandoned us - I do not know
who has created these edition. Who traveles on his
own without a tour group, has barely a chance to
reach the site early in the morning. There is little
public transport in the valley. The tourists go there
in the hundreds, but their bus driver however, take
no one with - mostly because they themselves are
already full. Private transport was also not on the
way on that morning and there was no taxis to
Cabanaconde to organize - the Place has no Taxi at all ...








Usually are more birds the same time in the air - up to a dozen animals we could see circle once for minutes. The locals say - what the guides does not reveal - that the birds rise only in the morning to circle, one should be there around 8:00 in the morning.
