    Condor Cross is the place with the highest chance to watch the condors. As the birds soar past the canyon walls, the lookout point also offers breathtaking views down into the depths of the canyons.

    The canyon is home to the Andean condor, a species that has been the focus of worldwide conservation efforts. The condors can be seen at close range as they fly past the canyon walls and are a popular attraction.
