Quebrada del Condorito National Park is a wildlife reserve outside the city dedicated to the protection of the Andean Condor – an enormous species of vulture that is facing extinction.

You can reach the park by car or by bus, but once you are inside it is a bit of a hike to get to the balcony of the condors, where you can observe condor nests and condors in flight.
