La verdad es que esta muy, pero muy poco divulgado (en Argentina al menos). De hecho, yo me enteré de casualidad y preguntando a mis conocidos si alguien sabia de este lugar nadie tenia referencias.
La infraestructura turística en las cercanías es muy poca, y de donde yo vivo (Buenos Aires) tuve que hacer 1400 Km para llegar al pueblo mas cercano, luego 2 hs para hacer 20 Km de camino de montaña de ripio (una sola mano en muy mal estado) y 2hs de trepada hasta el lugar de avistaje. Pero valió la pena!

Si porsupuesto, no cabe ninguna duda. Entiendo ahora porque nunca no he recibido ninguna informacion sobre este lugar durante mis visitas en Argentina ...

In the Sierra de los Quinteros, 20 km from Olta, in the province of La Rioja, Argentina (my Country ). A place to 2200 meters above sea level. A place something difficult (2 hours of mountain road gravel only 2.5 meters wide and then 2 hs briskly to access the observing site in the mountain top. A wonderful place!!!

A few years ago, I had a Condor on my arm. As you say, they're bloody heavy
