Arguably, the best spot where to find the Andean Condor, Ecuador's national bird and one of the most important symbols across the whole mountain chain. Antisana volcano, located 2 hours away from Quito, holds a magical mixture of colorful mountains and native flora and fauna; among the possible wildlife (some quite rare) we could find: Spectacled Bear, Andean Fox, White-tailed Deer and multiple rare birds like hummingbirds, ducks, raptors and perhaps, even the scarce Andean Ibis. Even though, for many people when not used to the high elevations, the altitude can be challenging this tour has several stops along the way and a couple of short easy walks; just be prepared for possible cold and rainy weather. In the way back, late but tasty lunch at Tambocondor, a great place for hummingbirds, and even a possible last condor. Drop-off before 5 pm.
An early start is key, a 5:45 pick-up is suggested but set according to the client's demand. From the city or from nearby the airport, we drive to "El Isco" viewpoint, a wooden platform (at 3.600 masl) from where we'll look across the canyon and up to the rocky cliffs that the condors use for shelter, even though wildlife is never guaranteed, most of the times we get in time to see the birds taking off or already soaring the sky in search for food. Then, we drive into the national park and have (at least) 3 or 4 stops along the way looking for birds, mammals and landscape pictures: the last stop shall be at the parking lot by the rangers house for a short walk to "La Mica" lake (at 4.000 masl) where to hopefully find the waterfowl of these high mountains and enjoy the beauty and peace of the place. At around 1pm we start the drive back, with a stop for lunch and enjoying the hummingbird feeders at a mountain lodge. The drive back might take a couple hours due to traffic.
