When you see condors for the first time you can't help but be in awe of them - so graceful, gliding so gracefully, hardly moving their expansive wings...........some are 3 metres in length. I did see them in Patagonia when we hiked in the Torres del Paine National Park but there were just a few and quite far away...
But today...."to sum it up, I overheard one girl say that it was so amazing she felt like crying" - I also felt like crying - I couldn't believe how many there were, how many came our way and some just looked at us as they glided past...Camera don't do them justice and trying to take a bird in flight is difficult as well but I did take a few shots but my reflexes weren't so great as they came towards us and the photos just don't do them justice.....
The actual Colca valley is beautiful - the Colca Canyon is one of the deepest canyons in the world - so the backdrop for the condor flight was amazing as well.
This is the Colca Valley - it was so beautiful......but the condors were the highlight.
