La Pampa is not a province of great tourist attractions.

Most people think of hunting (major or minor) when someone refers to the Pampa soil. Wild boar pigs, red deer, with due restrictions and other smaller species.

Even foreign tourists who come purely and exclusively to spend their holidays in hunting grounds.

However there are two beautiful activities to spend a long weekend or a short vacation.

Deer Breech and Bird Watching.

I already talked about one of them in a previous post, it is the ** [Red Deer Brama.] (Https://hive.blog/hive-120586/@belen0949/mousse-de-chocolate-con-flores-de -azucar-chocolate-mousse-with-sugar-flowers-esp-eng) **

What many do not know is that, in parallel to the red deer roar, they can enjoy the particular charm of the ** Birdwatching in the Pampas. **

As a consequence of the numerous water wells and springs that have appeared in La Pampa in recent years, not only have new and numerous animals been appearing that have established their habitat in this area.

13.-Avistaje-de-aves-en-el-Parque-Luro-grupo.jpgNumerous species of birds favored by the continuous development of the caldenal (calden forests), which abound in this province, protected by provincial law, have also gradually been incorporated.

According to the last census carried out by [Aves Argentinas] (https://www.avesargentinas.org.ar) more than 30% of the species are found in the Pampas.

Many of these beautiful birds go unnoticed in our daily lives, without paying the slightest attention to them.

Enjoying a weekend to observe them is not only a good hobby. It is both instructive and didactic. And it serves to improve us as people.

After having observed the Brama of the Deer we dedicated pou for a couple of days to the Bird Watching.

The most wanted birds.

The Churrinche or Brasita de Fuego for its intense red color is one of the most sought after birds.

Legend has it that a cacique wounded by the conquerors preferred to commit suicide by opening his chest with a knife before falling prisoner.

There are some species that are in danger of extinction such as the ** yellow cardinal ** and the ** cinnamon monterita **.

For this reason, sightings must be organized so as not to disturb their natural habitat.

Other species that can be seen are: ** the orange grove, the misto, the goldfinch, various species of pigeons and woodpeckers, the musician thrush, the collared monterita, the common necktie, the chalchalero thrush, the white nun, the benteveo common, the blue tacuarita, the common mouse and the little black head among many other varieties.

Condors own the air. Heaven seems to have no secrets for these gliding masters.

Two of its largest habitats correspond to southern Peru. In the Colca Canyon in Arequipa and in the Mayobamba Canyon in Ayacucho.

The images come from the latter and correspond to the trip he made in 2016 invited by friends. It is one of the places where the sighting is closest.

The Colca Canyon is located in the valley of a river in southern Peru and is famous for being one of the deepest in the world. It is a famous hiking destination.

It is a habitat for the giant Andean condor, which can be seen from viewpoints such as the Cruz del Cóndor.09.-el-cóndor-dueño-del-aire-1.jpg
In fact, the Mayobamba Viewpoint must be the best place in Peru to observe this majestic Andean bird.
It is in these places where the largest number of condors on the planet are sighted.09.-el-cóndor-dueño-del-aire-2.jpg
The condor is recognized as the world's largest non-marine flying bird.

Its almost three meters of wingspan mark, mark, control and watch with suspicion what knew to be the largest empire in South America.

The Andean condor is a scavenger bird with a slender body of black plimas with a bare head and neck, that is, devoid of feathers.

The male has a fleshy growth on the top of the head called a crest. And both males and females as adults present, at the base of the neck, a white feather necklace.

The same white color that is repeated at the tip of its wings that allow it to develop a speed of up to 70 km per hour.

And they give it that beautiful and stately appearance, even though it originally belongs to the family of vultures.

Due to their great weight they prefer to live in windy areas that allow them to fly taking advantage of air currents without great effort and reach heights of over 7,000 meters.

The Incas believed that the condor was immortal.

According to legend, this extraordinary bird that can live up to 75 years, when it feels old and close to death, stands on the highest peak of the mountain. It retracts its wings, gathers its legs and drops down into the bottom of the ravine, where its reign ends. But it is a symbolic death. Because it is reborn, it returns to the nest and regenerates. To start a new cycle, a new life.

The condor symbolizes strength, intelligence, and majesty.

It is one of the most respected animals since ancient times.

They have a single calf every two years and must take care of it for a whole year. Hence all the measures taken to prevent its extinction.
