Chonta Canyon Tour
- At approximately 7:00 am, our team member will pick you up from your hotel in order to start the Chonta Canyon Tour.
- After that, you leave the Cusco city in the direction of our first point of visit: the archaeo-astronomical center known as Killarumiyoq located in the locality of Anta.
- Then, return to the main road to continue with the tour. Following the road, in the direction of the town of Limatambo in the limits with the department of Apurímac, you find Tarawasi. This amazing place has one of the few remaining Andean cult structures in our territory (Usno).
- After these visits, the group will make a stop midway, where we will have lunch and some rest.
- Following the Chonta Canyon Tour, on the route again, you will arrive at the Huayronka Bridge, where we will take the detour that will take you to the Chonta town. All this way is on an ascending route of approximately one hour between beautiful Andean landscapes until arriving at the mentioned population.
- Upon arrival at Chontae – view of the condor, the group starts the hike in the direction of the three condor viewpoints.
- From these places, you will be able to appreciate the majestic flight of the Andean condor. You will have walked until the last viewpoint for an average of 50 minutes, and two hours of contemplation will give you enough time to make the best photographs and take with you invaluable memories.
