Flying condors above Colca Canyon, Cruz del condor, Peru. Under the spell of the condor.
Colca Canyon is the gorge of the Colca in southern Peru. It is a tourist attraction because you can spot condors up close.
They fly through the gorge, usually in the morning and evening. In the meantime, they are hunting in a more distant area. The large birds use the thermals, warm ascending air, for their spectacular flight. This condor spot 'Cruz del Condor' is loved by many tourists, who can get very close to the condors. Sometimes they fly over you about five meters from you. From this point, the gorge is 1200 metres deep. The andescondor is spotted throughout the Andes.
