Description
The day starts at 8:30 in the morning when tourists are picked up from their hotels. A one-hour trip is taken to reach the colonial chapel of Chataquilla, where the trekking along the Inca trail begins (2 hours).
At the end of the Inca trail, the car awaits us to take us to the Maragua Crater, where we have a delicious vegetarian lunch and visit the rock formation called La Garganta del Diablo (30 minutes).
In the afternoon, we visit the dinosaur footprints (2 hours) and return to Sucre. If a weaver is available, we can see her, and she will explain the art of the Jalqa culture.
