Condortrekkers was initiated in 2008 in Sucre, Bolivia, and is modelled on the Quetzaltrekkers organization which has been supporting children at risk in Guatemala since 1995 and in Nicaragua since 2004.
Since February of 2010 Condortrekkers has offered city tours of Sucre and hikes in the local area including the spectacular Cordillera de los Frailes and the magnificent crater of Maragua. 100% of the profits from these treks are directly invested in the communities through which the clients hike, as well as several established social projects within Sucre.
Our Mission
To break the circle of poverty by offering an alternative to relying on welfare by using market forces to create and share wealth within the community; the project sustains itself by giving community members the knowledge and skills to maintain their income source through tourism.
The weather was beautiful and we saw a beautiful eagle flying near us. We arrived into the crater and were greeted by another Condor Trekker tour group, where we shared a wonderful Bolivian dinner prepared by the guides. As an after dinner treat, guide Rogelio played his pan flute and sang us some Bolivian songs. The next day we enjoyed a sunny hike. Renee’s final trek before she leaves Sucre was wonderful.
