Colca Canyon
Peru
Peru
Concierge.com's insider take:
At twice the depth of the Grand Canyon, Colca is the world's second-deepest canyon and home to the world's largest birds, the giant Andean condors, with wingspans of up to 11 feet. Too large to take flight from the ground, the condors become airborne by leaping from cliff perches, which they do each morning between about 9 and 10 am; they then swoop and soar before gliding above the river in search of prey. From La Cruz del Condor lookout point (30 miles west of Chivay and 4,000 feet above the canyon floor), you can witness their solemn aerial ballet.
