This was an amazing experience and even though it seems quite expensive I would highly recommend this daytrip. The experience alone of walking up to the condor roost will stay with me for ever, and then experiencing the birds fly so close was brilliant. It was quite a challenge to handle the camera in the strong winds, but I got some excellent photos of both single birds and interactions. A longer lens is useful but hand-holding with fast shutter speeds is a must. My guide Jurgen was extremely knowledgable and helpful about the condors, and we finished the afternoon locating some other birds in the valley below which was also extremely enjoyable.
