The condor is associated with the Andes and this adventure travels down the length of the Andes searching for condors. From the far north of the continent on the arid Guajira peninsula, the route passes through hotspots such as Medellin and Bogota and a climb up Mount Puracé, an active volcano.There is a break in Quito to stand on the equator. There is a fascinating visit to the Galapagos and a voyage through the islands that make up the archipelago. There is a huge array of wildlife that is not afraid of humans so you can get really close to its tortoises and its other unique wildlife.Then there is the experience of seeing some of Peru's ancient civilisations and the country of origin of more than 3,500 varieties of potato before continuing down the Andes to the windswept wastelands of Patagonia to Ushuaia at the end of the world in the search for the condor.
