Finalmente chegamos ao Mirador Cruz do Condor, onde ficamos cerca de 1,5 hora admirando a beleza do vôo dos condores.  At first it was very hard to catch them because they were flying very low in the canyon. A princípio foi difícil de ver os condores porque eles estavam voando muito baixo no canyon. : Chivay, Colca Canyon, Colca Valley, Peru, Vacation 2015  As the air warmed up, they also rose. A proporcão que o ar esquentava, eles voavam mais alto. : Chivay, Colca Canyon, Colca Valley, Peru, Vacation 2015 
And then after an hour of watching them, we witnessed this beautiful encounter and the condor's huge wingspan. E depois de uma hora observando-os, nós vimos este lindo encontro e também a envergadura de suas asas.  Peru 345 P1020686 : Chivay, Colca Canyon, Colca Valley, Peru, Vacation 2015  Peru 346 P1020689 : Chivay, Colca Canyon, Colca Valley, Peru, Vacation 2015  Peru 347 P1020694 : Chivay, Colca Canyon, Colca Valley, Peru, Vacation 2015  Peru 348 P1020698 : Chivay, Colca Canyon, Colca Valley, Peru, Vacation 2015  Another short stop in Maca to look at the Church of Santa Ana and street vendors.
