Quebrada del Condorito National Park

Córdoba

The park lies on the Altas Cumbres road (Provincial Route 34) and is home to the popular Condorito Ravine, a deep canyon where condors nest.

Seeing them up close and feeling the wind whistling through their wings, over your head, is an unforgettable experience that these mountains have to offer.

It can be visited all year round. Admission is free.
