Excursion to Condor Gorge: departure from La Rioja towards Punta de los Llanos, Tama, and Pacatala. We ascend the Sierra de los Llanos along trails crossing mountain streams and picturesque landscapes until reaching Estancia Santa Cruz de la Sierra, arriving at the Quebrada del Cóndor Tourist Outpost, where we can enjoy a traditional countryside lunch.
After lunch, we take a 2-hour horseback ride or hike to the Condor Lookout, where we will stop for 1 hour to observe the flight of this majestic bird. Depending on the day, we may see flocks of 12, 20, or even up to 40 condors flying around us.
We return at sunset to enjoy a traditional mate gathering at the Outpost, and at 6:00 p.m., before nightfall, we return to the city.
