Nestled in Otavalo, Imbabura province, the Parque Cóndor is a remarkable conservation and education center in Ecuador. It is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and protection of birds of prey and other wildlife, while also serving as a cultural and ecological attraction for visitors from around the world.

A privileged location

The park offers breathtaking 360° panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes, including:

• The Imbabura and Cotacachi volcanoes.
• The Cuicocha crater lake.
• The city of Cotacachi and the San Pablo Lake.
• Nearby attractions such as the Otavalo indigenous market, Peguche waterfall, and the Mojanda lakes.

Conservation and rescue

None of the birds are taken directly from the wild.

Many have been rescued from illegal trafficking or unsuitable environments.

The park is home to species such as the Andean condor, eagles, hawks, owls, and even the majestic harpy eagle.

It operates as a non-profit project, supported by national and international volunteers committed to wildlife protection.
