While traveling through Patagonia these massive birds are difficult to ignore. Usually in groups of three to five they seem to glide effortlessly through the sky barely moving their wings.
Csondors have massive wingspans, and the South American Andean condor boasts a wingspan of 10 to 12 feet, making them the largest flying birds in the world. This wingspan enables them to soar effortlessly for long distances and are a common sight in these skies.
While the Andean condor can be spotted throughout Chile, they are particularly common in the southern regions, especially around areas like Cerro Palomares near Punta Arenas, which hosts the largest condor roost in Chilean Patagonia, hosting near seventy-five birds.
