The main objective of the day is to trek to the condor viewpoint to witness the majestic Andean condor in its natural habitat. The ascent begins with a 1 to 1.5-hour climb to reach the portezuelo, where there will be a short rest to recharge before continuing the climb. The trek will then cross the watercourse of the Three Hundred Gorge, followed by another ascent.
Around kilometer 3.6, the trail begins to descend, revealing the expansive cliff that marks the destination. The Mirador de Cóndores is a vast plateau situated over 2,030 meters high, right on the edge of impressive rocky cliffs. From this vantage point, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views, including sightings of condors, eagles, and the iconic Tupungato Volcano.
