Quebrada del Condorito National Park was created on 28 November 1996 over 37,344 hectares of the Córdoba hills to protect a threatened stretch of the Sierras Pampeanas. Its heart lies on the high grassland plateau of Pampa de Achala, where the rock splits into a deep gorge whose walls are a nesting ground for Andean condors, among the largest flying birds in the world. The walking trail starts at La Pampilla near the road and crosses the plateau through grass and granite boulders to the Balcón Norte viewpoint over the gorge, where condors sometimes glide past at eye level. The walk there and back takes several hours. Registration is compulsory before entry, online or by QR code at the entrance. The plateau is open to sun and wind and can turn cold suddenly, so bring water, a hat and a warm layer.
