Meh. But this isn&#8217;t just any bird. The Andean Condor is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_largest_birds#Largest_living_birds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one of the world&#8217;s largest flying birds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I actually started to write all about how it was the largest, which is of course what they tell you, but it&#8217;s apparently debatable. There&#8217;s another big-boned flyer named the Kori Bustard, which might be the largest.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, who cares about superlatives, these birds are huge. And majestic. And totally worth seeing.<\/p>\n<h2>Mirador Cruz Del Condor<\/h2>\n<p>To get to the mirador, the best way is to spend the night in Chivay and head out the next morning.<\/p>\n<p>The condors are most active around 10 am so either you&#8217;re going to be waking up painful early in Arequipa or you go the day before and spend the night in nearby Chivay.<\/p>\n<p>We went there on a 2 day Colca canyon tour &#8211; the one without hiking, where we saw quite a few other sights.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-content in-content-link\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>READ MORE: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/colca-canyon-without-hiking\/\">2 Day Colca Canyon Tour<\/a> &#8211; Experience the Andes from Arequipa, no tough hiking.<\/div>\n<p>If you do love to hike, you can check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/careergappers.com\/peru-trekking-best-hikes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trekking guide to Peru<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When you get there, most people crowd near the topmost viewpoint, but there are multiple spots, just go down the hill to the next viewpoint for a bit more space.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a view of the second viewpoint from the first, it&#8217;s about a 6-7 minute walk down.

I just kinda waited until I got a spot at the ledge and then I was just patient for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>People would keep getting impatient and moving to another viewpoint but it&#8217;s probably best to find a spot and just wait until the birds show up.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"in-content in-content-post\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9940 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0015-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"panasonic-gx85-with-zoom\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/the-best-camera-for-travel\/\">My recommendation for Best Travel Camera<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Find out why this workhorse is my recommended pick for best travel camera.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear-float\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And get ready because when you do see the condors, it is HARD to focus on them. I mean, on the one hand, they are close which is wonderful to watch. On the other hand, that means they zoom by fast and it&#8217;s really hard to focus on them.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good idea to learn about any focus tracking feature that your camera has.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s two kinds of focus that are kind of dynamic &#8211; one is focus tracking and the other is continuous AF.<\/p>\n<h3>Types of Focus<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Focus tracking<\/strong> &#8211; maintains focus on an object moving within the frame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Continuous Autofocus<\/strong> &#8211; maintains focus on a specific location in the frame, but not necessarily a specific object.<\/p>\n<p>To read more about focusing, you can check out <a href=\"https:\/\/photographylife.com\/dslr-autofocus-modes-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With a flying bird of course you need the former. Then when it&#8217;s flying toward you, you can lock focus and hope it keeps tracking as you shoot.<\/p>\n<p>When I first tried tracking focus, I tried it on birds with busy cliff side not so far behind, in the background, and it did not work well. This was the one usable shot I got but you can see how it would be hard to separate the bird from this background.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cruz-del-condor-mirador-800x601.jpg\" alt=\"Cruz del condor viewpoint\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cruz-del-condor-mirador-800x601.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cruz-del-condor-mirador-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cruz-del-condor-mirador-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cruz-del-condor-mirador.jpg 1065w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><div id=\"wp-image-10574-exif\" class=\"exif\"><div class=exifleft><div class=exiflabel class=exposure>Exposure<\/div><div class=value>1\/4000s &#402;\/7.1 @ ISO 1600<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=focal_length>Focal Length<\/div><div class=value>142mm<\/div><\/div><div class=exifright><div class=exiflabel class=camera>Camera<\/div><div class=value>DMC-GX85<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=created_timestamp>Date & Time<\/div><div class=value>July 26, 2018, 9:26 am<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>It seemed to work a good deal better when the bird was clearly defined against further back mountains.
