Condors and Culture in Otavalo

Highlights / General details

Condors may be strong and skillful but sometimes even birds of prey get the blues. Visit a rehabilitation centre for condors that are down on their luck, then enjoy a nature walk, a visit to a sacred waterfall and some down time at a craft market.

See hawks and falcons display their amazing flying skills during an exciting flight demonstration. Have a close encounter with the majestic Andean Condor. Enjoy traditional cuisine with a modern twist. Visit the mystical Peguche Waterfall. Pick up some colorful crafts at a traditional indigenous market.
