These animals include guanacos, culpeo and gray fox, hares, American ostriches called Ñandu, flamingos, black-necked swans, and more discreet animals like the armadillo piche and peludo, the chingue, and the famous condor and other raptors such as moorish eagles.

You will visit the largest condor colony in Chilean Patagonia, where, after a light walk, you will reach the foot of the rock wall that serves as a refuge for the condors.

It promises to be an amazing journey through Chilean wildlife with an expert English-speaking guide!
