The Condor Hill (or Mirador de Kuntur Wasi) is a great viewpoint with stunning views of Puno and Lake Titicaca. It is located at the top of a very steep staircase with more than 600 steps! A hard climb in thin air, but the staircase has a few plateaus with benches on the way to the top. This is a good opportunity for a pause and to catch the breath before continuing the steep climb. At the top, you are rewarded for the climb... 4,017 meters above sea level, and an amazing view... There is also a large condor monument, which has a wingspan of 11 meters, and a small shop selling sodas, water, and chips. I’m glad I don’t have to bring supplies up the stairs…

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
