Cruz del Condor

Leaving Cabanaconde, we rode to Cruz del Condor. Early every morning the condors come up out of the deep canyon to feed. The condors can have a wing spread up to 10 feet. It is a spectacular sight, we are told. We were there by 8:30, arriving by pickup truck, with Dan and Jully and our luggage in the back.
As you will see from the next pictures, it was very foggy, and cloudy. The condors will not come up through the fog. We waited and waited, till after 10 a.m. and it never cleared, so we left. Having met several tourists there, we saw one of the families later in Chivay, and they said they waited till noon and the fog never lifted. That was a real disappointment for a lot of tourists. But it was a beautiful sight of Colca Canyon, some say the deepest in the world, deeper than the Grand Canyon. It was spectaculare there.
