There are less than 10000 Andean condors, the largest birds of prey, left in the world. They live up to 70 years, pair up for life and care for their chicks for years... Absolutely amazing (and very ugly when being face to face with them as happened to us today on a hiking trail 😅) birds!
Today, we had the luck to see four of them (partially very, very) close - three in this video.

And here the gentleman who decided to block out path today. As you can see, we ended up leaving the trail to walk around him, assuming this was better for everyone, including the nature... (this was not in the National Park but in an area frequented by people and cattle so leaving the trail was OK).
One photo is no zoom, the other 3x...
