Condors ahoy!

After more than half an hour of vainly peering into the sky above and the canyon below, it seemed as if we would be amongst the unlucky groups that don´t see the condors in flight over the Colca river. Happily, we were proven wrong, and in spectacular fashion. Over twenty of the huge birds (the heaviest in the sky, with wingspans up to three metres) put on an aerial show for us, flying in pairs and threes, as close as five metres above our heads.
