The condor valley: La Bodega - Welcome!
The Ripe Region of "La Bodega"!
We invite you into our 44,000 acre ranch historically known as “La Bodega” (The Winery) but referred to as Condor Valley due to the dozen or so nesting condors on the gorges overlooking the dam and mountain ridges throughout the property.
New Additions!
Argentina Birding!
Condor Valley has much to offer the birder. Of course the namesake condors are the prime attraction on this 65,000 acre ranch. Rare Andean Condors nest on the ranch and are often visible soaring above the mountains; as many as 50 have been spotted in one day.
Because the ranch encompasses so many square miles of mostly untouched land, it is possible to find many rare northern Argentine species. Both Black-legged and Red-legged Seriemas, locally known as "roadrunners," are often seen fleeing as you drive along the ranch roads. At night numerous nightjars flush from the road surfaces as well, including the distinctive Scissor-tailed Nightjar. Read More-->
Our website, CondorValley.org is a work in progress. Our intention is to communicate with our friends, and the world, on our progress transforming this abandoned jewel into a traditional working cattle and horse ranch.
In the future we hope to delight guests with a lens into the customs of the Argentina gaucho and typical ranch life in the Province of Salta in Northwest Argentina.
Come help us transform and reinvigorate “La Bodega” and perhaps soon we will once again be able to offer grapes and wine from plantings on Condor Valley.
