Al oeste de la provincia de Córdoba, en el centro de las Sierras Grandes, la naturaleza del Parque Nacional Quebrada del Condorito se convierte en un escenario ideal para el senderismo y el avistaje de cóndores. Desde el Balcón Norte y Balcón Sur, dos puntos de observación unidos por una pasarela que cruza el río Condorito, se pueden observar estas enormes aves que dan el nombre al área protegida. Se recomienda ingresar al área denominada Paraje “La Pampilla” y llegar a la quebrada (balcones) antes de las 10 hs, para contar con el tiempo suficiente para realizar una visita cómoda y tener luz solar en el regreso. Se sugiere visitarlo durante la primavera y el otoño. La entrada es gratuita. Ingreso senderos: Balcón Norte: hasta las 13 horas. Río de los Condoritos: hasta las 12 horas. Piedra Libre al Zorro: hasta las 15 horas. Secreto Bajo Nuestros Pies: hasta las 17 horas.

After spending a couple days in Cordoba, my brother and I wanted to get out of the city for a bit and this seemed like the perfect spot. I did a bit of research how to get to the park via bus and it worked out pretty easily. There seem to be a fair amount of companies going to Villa Dolores or Mina Clavero, which will pass the park on their way. All of them are located in Terminal 2, the more local routes. We ended up leaving Cordoba at 10:30AM with Sierra Bus and got off at the park entrance at 12:30PM. It was a beautiful drive, actually passing by dozens of condors on the way. Our bus driver said he would be back at 6:00PM, so that was helpful. We walked the 2km to the park visitor center, registered with the rangers and were on our way. The hike wasn't too strenuous, a bit hilly but not too difficult. It was supposed to take 2 hours to reach the end, but we did it in about 1 hour or so. The balconies over the gorge were quite spectacular and we had a little picnic once we got there. We got there a little late for the mass condor flying in the area, but did spot a couple in the sky.
