Quebrada del Condorito National Park
Parque Nacional Quebrada del Condorito
A canyon about 800 m deep on the high grassland plateau, where a hike to the lookout gets you close to Andean condors circling overhead.
Quebrada del Condorito National Park sits on the Pampa de Achala plateau at an elevation of roughly 2,000 m. Its centerpiece is the “Condorito” canyon, about 800 m deep, and it is one of the easternmost breeding grounds of the Andean condor in Argentina. From the La Pampilla visitor center, a round-trip hike of about 3 to 4 hours reaches the lookout on the south side, where condors are often seen riding thermals. Entry is free, but you must register at the entrance. The park is about 80 km from Córdoba, and buses along the “Camino de las Altas Cumbres” (High Peaks Road) can get you there. The plateau is very windy and the sun is strong, so bring a windbreaker and sunscreen.
