Upon arriving at the Condor’s Nest, visitors have free time to photograph the condors and enjoy a snack. After that, the return follows a different trail, offering distant views of the majestic Codo de los Andes. The tour can also be combined with a visit to the La Pajcha Waterfall. Full-day Tour Option A: Hike to the Condor’s Nest and return directly to Samaipata.
