What you can expect

  • Discover the Cordillera de los Frailes on a guided hike from Sucre.

    Begin your adventure at dawn with a visit to a viewpoint near the colonial chapel of Chataquilla, a significant meeting place for the Jalqa community. From the viewpoint, enjoy breathtaking views as you wait for the sunrise, accompanied by a breakfast snack. After the sunrise, visit the chapel of Chataquilla to learn about its history and cultural significance.

    Next, start a 20-minute hike to the mountain's summit. From this vantage point, enjoy spectacular views of the Tumpeca Valley, the indigenous community of Chaunaca, the Maragua Crater, and part of the city of Sucre.

    As you continue the hike throughout the morning, take in the stunning scenery, including impressive geological formations, local flora, and forests. If we’re lucky, we might spot some Andean wildlife in the mountains.

    After 2 hours of walking, reach the Pumamachay cave to admire ancient cave paintings that date back thousands of years. Continue for about 30 more minutes to Incamachay, where you’ll find more cave paintings and traces of ancient communities. The hike then leads to the Jalqa community of Tumpeca, nestled in a valley near a river.

    Enjoy a vegetarian lunch in Maragua after departing from Tumpeca. From there, you’ll be treated to incredible views of the colourful mountains near Sucre, rich with various minerals. Inside the Maragua Crater, visit the Jalqa community of Maragua and the area known as the Devil's Throat, featuring a small waterfall and a stunning viewpoint.

    Finally, return to Sucre from the Maragua Crater, concluding your unforgettable journey.
