Chonta Condor Watching, Tarawasi and Quillarumiyuc Full-Day Tour from Cusco

Get picked up from your Cusco hotel in the morning and drive to the Quillarumiyoc Inca site. You’ll explore this ancient area’s collection of terraces and altars with your guide, learning about its important role in the Inca cults of the moon and the fertility of “Pacha Mama.”

Proceed from there to Tarawasi, and another sacred Inca site known for its collection of more than 24 trapezoid-shaped niches and terraces arranged to appear like flower petals. Then leave these two Inca sites behind and head into Limatambo Valley, stopping to enjoy a typical lunch and learn about the Huaychaou people.

Then head to the town of Chonta, situated at an elevation of 11,100 feet (3,400 meters) near the Apurimac Canyon. You’ll have plenty of time to observe the graceful Andean condors that are known to hang out in the area, then return back to Cusco, arriving back at your hotel in the early evening.

Observe the condors flying in their natural habitat in Cusco. The best option to observe the condors closer to Cusco city is in Chonta Town by Limatambo Valley in the Apurimac Canyon. Enjoy also the view of the other side of Cuscoby visiting Quillarumiyuc, the moon temple and Tarawasi, another ceremonial place during the Inca times.
