Argentina Tours & Travel | Quebrada del Condorito National Park
Located just fifty-five miles southwest of the provincial capital city of Cordoba, Quebrada del Condorito National Park was established in 1996. It consists of 91,500 acres of rolling Pampa de Achala and forested canyons in the dry Chaco eco-region, surrounded by a 358,290-acre watershed reserve. Five centuries ago, indigenous peoples sought refuge here from the conquistadores.

The park derives its name from the 260-ft deep seven-mile long ravine where Andean condors nest, making it an intriguing place for birdwatchers to visit on Argentina tours. Red wolves, puma, lizards and snakes, including the venomous pit viper, also inhabit the park.

The hot subtropical climate experiences temperature extremes, raining twenty to twenty-seven inches in summer, while winter temperatures can reach -13F. The four to five hour hike to the condor nesting site is the park’s most popular activity for visitors on Argentina tours. The park is accessible year-round but too new to have visitor services so it’s best to seek information from the park before arriving. The closest towns are Villa Carlos Paz and Mina Clavero.
