Antisana Reserve

Our Reserve: A Protected Paradise for Andean Wildlife

Our Antisana Condor Reserve spans 18 protected acres near Antisana National Park, including high-altitude grasslands, montane forests, rocky canyons, the Secas Lagoon, and the Isco River creating an ideal sanctuary for Ecuador’s most iconic bird species. The reserve is a vital natural corridor for many Andean wildlife between Antisana National Park and several Lagoons in the area.

The Antisana Condor Tower is a unique three-level structure designed for the ultimate wildlife viewing experience. Each floor offers a different perspective—overlooking the scenic secas lagoon with river Isco, lush montane forest, and panoramic 360° views of Condor nesting cliffs. Inside we offer:

  • A warm and cozy lounge with comfortable couches and tables.
  • Clean and comfortable bathrooms.
  • A refreshment station offers tea, coffee, cold beer and a sandwich maker to warm your snacks. It’s the perfect place to relax, read a book, and wait in comfort as nature unfolds around you.
  • Unbeatable views of the Andes.

Why settle for windy and cold roadside views of the Condor, when your group can enjoy exclusive, up-close birding at our private Condor Reserve?

Stay warm, relax in comfort, and experience the best birdwatching near Antisana National Park — with private access, stunning vistas, and unmatched chances to see Andean Condors and more.
