Andean Condor Watching + Puracé National Park Tour

After picking you up at your hotel in Silvia at 6:40 am, we will depart for the Puracé National Natural Park, with a bus ride lasting approximately two and a half hours.

We will arrive at this site located at over 3400 metres (11155 feet) above sea level. From the summits, we will engage in a bird-watching activity, seeking the famous Andean condor, recognized as one of the largest flying birds in the world. You will learn interesting facts about this endangered species featured in the coats of arms of Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, and Bolivia.

After an hour of observing the Andean condor, we will continue to explore the landscapes of the Puracé National Park, including the valley of frailejones, a notable plant of the páramos, which comprises 90 varieties in Colombia.

Stops will include the waterfall of the Bedón river, the Andulbio lagoon, and the wishing well, allowing time for photography.

We will then visit the thermal baths of San Juan, featuring pools and rivers of hot water with varied colors. We will learn about their unique coloration.

Prior to returning to Silvia, we will enjoy a delicious lunch of fish, grilled meat, or chicken with sides like rice, salad, or 'patacones', accompanied by a drink. After lunch, we will proceed back to the bus and conclude the activity, returning you to your hotel.
