Lassoing Condors in a Wild Andes Pen Contests
A journal recounts a dangerous sport of mounted hunters in the Andes using lariats to catch condors from enclosed pens. Riders pursue heavy birds that rise then drag riders before the chase ends, often ending with the rider unseated or dragged. The narrator recalls a dramatic accident when a condor knocked him from his horse and he vowed to quit the sport.
