What an exhilerating and magnificent experience. You walk along the ridge (not for people scared of heights) and the condors are gliding past you only a few meters away! A must do!

If you combine the place with condor watching, it is very good. When we arrived we were greeted with coffee, tea and pastries. Then there was a condor lesson. Afterwards we went condor watching. We could see many birds in flight and in their burrows It was very worth it.
