<h1>Mirador Cruz del Condor, kingdom of condors</h1>

In the Cruz del Condor, the road passes by the rim of the canyon. For Colca River runs down to a depth of 1,200 meters while the wall of the front, grows to 3,100 meters high on whose summits are permafrost and below the majestic condors fly. Experiences of past visitors indicate that the landscape seen from there is "spectacular."

El Mirador de la Cruz del Condor, is a privileged place to observe the depth of the canyon, the vegetation and especially the flight of the condors, the true king of all the Colca Canyon area. In addition, the distance one can spot volcanoes and Ampato Coropuna, which add beauty to the landscape. No doubt from the Mirador Cruz del Condor can take some of the most beautiful photographs in Peru.

The Colca Valley is a huge geological formation that was born out of river erosion. This process was not the overnight, took thousands of years. And because of this the canyon is a narrow section from the Cruz del Condor.

This viewpoint is a natural phenomenon and an interesting experience for visitors. It has built a great cross and a small stone wall for the convenience of tourists.

While the most striking thing is that you can see in all its splendid flight of the Condor, also here we can see the depth of this canyon, which is characterized as one of the deepest in the world.

The condor sighting is usually 8 to 10 am. The birds take a considerable height and then follow the air currents that go to the coast, and that's where you'll find your food.
