There are perhaps 50 birds in Colombia, mostly in the Santa Marta, with a few in the Perijá and a few in the Central Andes but there is no really reliable place.There are perhaps 50 birds in Ecuador as well and the only reliable place to see them is PN Antisana and the adjoining Fundacion Jocotoco reserve of Antisanilla.There might be 300-1000 birds in Peru from what I have heard and they are certainly more common the further south you get.I do not know what the population in Argentina and Chile might be like but I know it is much larger.Not sure what dump might attract them - I have only ever seen Condors gathered at carcasses, was not aware of their being attracted to human refuse?</blockquote>
