Follow the mythical Carretera Austral-paved for more than 1.2 miles as it winds through the park-to catch a glimpse of the magnificent condors that nest on La Condorera under the gaze of Picacho and Zaranda, the towering peaks that watch over this unique place, which is graced by over a mile and a half of riverbank beside the Picaflor River.
Surrounded by various natural reserves and national parks-including the fantastic Queulat Hanging Glacier, 53 miles away and perhaps the best known in the world-and only 55 miles away from the main port of Puerto Aysén, the gateway to Laguna San Rafael, Parque La Condorera has a powerful magnetism all of its own.
Named after the sheer granite face that rises over 1,640 feet above the surrounding area and home to the majestic Chilean condor, which nests there and can be seen all year round, the plot offers incredible views of this monumental geographical formation that in turn forms the plinth of the jaw-dropping Cerro Picacho, the monarch of the landscape, which appears to commune with the nearby Cerro La Zaranda, another of the colossi that watch over this beautiful spot.
Within its 1.181-acre expanse, Parque La Condorera offers over 4 miles of courses bearing the purest water in the world, but, more importantly, boasts more than a mile and a half of riverbank alongside the Picaflor River, which, together with the Mañihuales River, offers one of the best-known fly-fishing circuits in the world. The plot is the first property to receive the waters of the Picaflor River, and the sheer impossibility of human settlement upriver guarantees its purity.
It is also clad in exuberant evergreen Valdivian Forest, an ecosystem with one of the highest numbers of endemic species in the world. It consists primarily of the Coihue Magallánico and the Mañio Macho, trees that can grow to 100 feet in height; the Tepa, Luma, and Arrayan trees; and several bushes, perhaps the most noteworthy of which being the Maqui and the Calafate, each known for their eponymous superfruits that grow only in the wild.
This jungle provides natural habitat for animals such as the elegant puma; the pudú, the world’s smallest deer; the huemul, a national symbol; the fox; the elusive guiña wild cat; the famous Darwin’s frog; and myriad birds including the condor, eagle, kingfisher, woodpecker, chucao, and huet huet.
But that’s not all. Parque La Condorera is extraordinarily well connected. The Carretera Austral runs through it, providing over 1.2 miles of paved road. There is a service station open 24/7 only 22 miles away; the main port is 50 minutes away; the regional capital, Coyhaique, is 1 hour 20 minutes away; and the regional airport, Balmaceda, is 2 hours away, all on paved road. In addition, La Tapera, the border crossing with Argentina, is only 75 miles away. And as if that weren’t enough, the regional fiber optic cable runs along the entire length of the highway providing connections at various intervals along its length.
All this and more make Parque La Condorera a unique, incomparable, and simply priceless place.
