29th of April – Shivay to Mirador de los Condores + camping
« Back to journal
The Colca canyon with its terraces built over centuries
Most likely to see the condors in the morning between 7am and 9am when they use the thermal lift in order to get out of the canyon and higher and higher in the sky...we were just lucky when we arrived at the mirador in the daytime
Condor! :-)
Short break in Cabanaconde before we returned to the mirador
All the tourists on bus tours were gone already so we were completely alone out there
While walking at the ridge we had time discovering the beauty
When we returned the sun went down fast and it got cold..of course on 3.800 meters
We got up at 5:30am and packed all our stuff in order to be done before all the bus tours would join
Not a 100% guarantee but we were lucky!

3...just 10 meters away, not afraid at all
