    We depart for the adventure at 7am from your hotel in Cusco. We drive to the town of Limatambo and along the way we will stop at viewpoints to take photos of the amazing Andes, and Salkantay mountain. We then continue driving through beautiful mountain scenery. After one hour we arrive in Killarumiyoc where our guide will explain all of the Inca History of this charming place. We then continue on to the Valley of Limatambo, where the Tarawasi Inca site is located. After exploring this beautiful site, we will continue our tour driving uphill on the dirt road towards to the community of Chonta. Upon arrival we hike 1 ½ hours (moderate difficulty) reaching the lookout of Hahuacco, which boasts great views of the Apurimac canyon and Vilcabamaba mountain range. With a little bit of luck we will enjoy our Condor sighting activity; it is common to see the majestic condors soaring in their natural habitat and flying over the Chonta canyon. In the afternoon we walk back down to Chonta for 1 ½ hours then drive back to Cusco. Pick up time is between 2:15am and 2:45am, please be waiting in your hotel lobby at 2:15am and keep a lookout for the van. You may want to bring a pillow and blanket to get some extra sleep during the van ride (these can be left in the van while you hike). If you are prone to motion sickness we also recommend taking something to help with this.

I did the day condor day trip with Jacob, it is a really worth while day trip to a beautiful canyon about 2.5 hours from Cusco. We were lucky enough to see some beautiful and majestic condors. The trip additionally included a stop at some previous INKA ruins, I found Jacob to be an excellent and knowledgable guide throughout this trip. I would recommend this trip if you have time and would like to see condors close to Cusco.

I went on the one-day condor tour from Cusco. I was a young woman traveling by myself, but never felt in danger or uncomfortable with my FlashPacker Connect team. My tour guide, Jacob and driver Hugo picked me up from my hotel around 7:30 am. We drove to Killarumiyoc where Jacob gave me a tour of the ruins there. He was very knowledgable about history and you can tell that he really enjoys "letting you fly with history." It really is a cool experience seeing these smaller archeological sites in smaller groups. Totally different experience than a crowded Machu Piccu tour or even a group tour at less crowded places. I also really enjoyed having the time to get to know my tour guide, Jacob, both on the drive and during the tour. He taught me so much more than what was technically "included" in the tour. When we made it to the small village of Chonta, we went to a small trailhead where we hiked for about an hour to the condor lookout. We waited for about 2 hours for the condors to come out soaring (it seemed to correlate with when the sun finally came out from thick cloud cover). There were also other birds there to keep me occupied though, including eagles and a pair of peregrine falcons, along with some parrots. Jacob was very patient even though I knew he probably wanted to get going as it was a Friday afternoon. When the condors finally came out flying, I really cannot explain how amazing it was! We saw both adults and juvenile condors. One juvenile flew very close to the lookout and you could tell he was curious about us. I thought I would want to take more pictures, but my absolute favorite thing to do was just look through my binoculars at the birds and just take in every moment. We also had a wonderful packed lunch while out there. Hugo, our driver, was very patient and waited for us until we came back later in the afternoon. Overall an amazing experience. Would highly recommend both the Condor tour and Jacob.

I sincerely recommend this tour... The two first stops at inca sites were really interesting. The walk to the observation point was so beautiful...the view is just amazing...and when the condors finally arrive, it's just magic. I was alone for this daytrip but my guide Yeicob was such a good company and gave me really good explanations. We took all the time needed to watch the condors, no rush at anytime. I really appreciated it. The food was nice as well. Nothing negative to say.
