Magic with the condors

Peggy_I, Mar 2026

We came to see the condors and were not disappointed! Our guide, Ivan, was wonderful! He made the experience magical, especially playing a couple of songs on his flute. He was particularly attentive, as I had a bad stomach and he stopped a number of times to let me take care of things.

Don’t hesitate to book this tour!

Melissa_A, Apr 2024

The BEST day. I almost didn’t book this tour because it’s a very long day with a higher price than group tours. But I am so grateful I did. Our guide Marcelo and driver Juan Carlos were prompt, kind and professional. We saw and learned so much. The Colca Valley and canyon are stunning this time of year with flowers everywhere. Plus, we saw 12 condors. Being on a private tour meant that we could linger at the best view points and then leave in our comfortable van when a huge, crowded tour bus showed up. The food was excellent, especially the lunch! I loved getting to try new things like the cactus fruit and quinoa pineapple breakfast drink. Yes, we were exhausted by the end but the experience and everything we saw was worth it.
