This trek allows you to enjoy magnificent views as you walk along pre-Hispanic trails and then explore the ancient rock paintings known commonly as Incamachay and Pumamachay.

On day one, we leave the office and travel with the locals firstly in a ‘micro’ to the outskirts of Sucre and then in a ‘camion’ to Chataquila, which sits atop the Cordillera de los Frailes. We visit a lovely stone chapel dedicated to the Virgin and take in the view back towards Sucre. We then begin trekking just after midday down the famous pre-Hispanic route commonly referred to as ‘The Inca Trail’.

We eat lunch at a mirador with views towards the unique, naturally formed crater of Maragua.

Day 2: We arise at dawn and eat breakfast before heading up towards the caves that house the rock paintings.

After breakfast we explore the caves that house the paintings and learn about their significance. Then we hike up to the top of the range and back to Chataquila and transport to Sucre.

The 2 day trek costs 350 Bolivianos ($50 US) and includes all food, transport and guides.
