Guided tour arrangement properly and carefully! Vehicle clean! The only unfortunate part of the hot spring, the hot spring is too thin, there is no place to stay, if you go to another hot spring, believe that add a little bit of money, the travelers will not mind!

The time I went to the Mirador del Condor was an unforgettable experience. The scenery was stunning, the hills huge and a clear sky. Just when we arrived, we saw a condor flying very close, it was magic! The wind was a bit strong, but it was totally worth the views. I recommend wearing a coat and going early. Definitely a place that connects with nature and leaves you speechless.
