Embark on an unforgettable 4.5-hour adventure from the shores of Punta Arenas to the serene and rugged landscape of Estancia Olga Teresa, a sanctuary for the awe-inspiring Andean condor. Just a 90-minute motorcoach drive north leads you into the heart of Chilean Patagonia, where you'll encounter the world's largest flying bird. Nestled amid the vast Andes Mountain range, this special "condorera" harbors the largest colony of Andean condors. Upon arrival, you'll be introduced to the lives of these magnificent birds, learning about their behaviors, habitats and essential role within the ecosystem. Your exploration takes you to the slopes of Cerro Palomares, where condors soar against the backdrop of the Patagonian skies. An expert guide, equipped with telescopes and binoculars, will accompany you to ensure up-close views of these birds in flight. This journey promises a profound connection with one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. Return to port after this memorable day.

Special Notes:

Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed. Guests must be in good condition to walk over grass, dirt, gravel and uneven terrain.
