Condor Park

In Pucará de Curiloma, at an altitude of 2.800 m / 9.350 ft, close to the waterfall of Peguche, and overlooking the lake San Pablo and the city of Otavalo, lies Parque Cóndor. It comprises 17 hectares and can be reached after just a 10-minute drive off the northern leg of the Pan-American Highway.

Its purpose is to protect, to rescue, to rehabilitate and reintroduce vultures (especially the Andean Condor), owls and other birds of prey in their habitat. Also, the park aims to teach people how important environmental impacts are, placing them in their social and cultural contexts by using these birds as an example, since they constitute important environmental indicators and are relevant symbols in the Andean culture.

Parque Cóndor is a site for children aged 5 to 95, who can enjoy walks while admiring the view from above over the entire Valle del Amanecer (Valley of Dawn). You can take your best bird pictures at close range, admire condors, vultures, falcons, eagles, and owls.
