1-dagsvandring i krateret Maragua og Inca-stierne i Sucre
Beskrivelse
Dyk ned i de pulserende landskaber i krateret i Maragua, hvor betagende geologiske formationer blev skulptureret over tid, engang trådt af dinosaurer og nu elsket som hjemsted for Jalqa-samfundet. Dagen starter klokken 8.30 om morgenen, hvor turister bliver hentet fra deres hoteller. En times tur tages for at nå det koloniale kapel Chataquilla, hvor vandringen langs Inka-stien begynder (2 timer). For enden af Inka-stien venter bilen på os, der tager os til Maragua-krateret, hvor vi spiser en lækker vegetarisk frokost og besøger klippeformationen kaldet La Garganta del Diablo (30 minutter). Om eftermiddagen besøger vi dinosaurernes fodspor (2 timer) og vender tilbage til byen Sucre. Hvis en væver er ledig, kan vi besøge hende, og hun forklarer os om Jalqa-kulturens kunst.

Rejseplan
Mødestedet er ved de respektive overnatningssteder, hvor guiden og chaufføren henter dig. Derefter holder vi om nødvendigt et stop ved et indfødt marked, hvor vi kan købe ting som vand, kokablade osv. Derfra fortsætter vi ad en naturskøn rute fyldt med skove mod bjergene.
Chataquilla er et kolonialt kapel beliggende i Bolivia, nær byen Sucre, i Andes-regionen. Det er primært kendt for sin før-spanske vejbane, som var en del af et omfattende netværk af veje bygget af præcolumbianske civilisationer, såsom inkaerne. Denne vej, lavet af perfekt afstemte sten, demonstrerer den avancerede teknik og viden om disse kulturer med hensyn til konstruktion og territorial organisation. Stedet har også kulturel og åndelig betydning, da det ligger i et område, der anses for helligt af lokale oprindelige samfund. Fra Chataquilla kan besøgende nyde panoramaudsigten over de omkringliggende dale og bjerge, hvilket gør det til en populær destination for både arkæologisk turisme og økoturisme.
Inka-stien løber mellem Chataquilla og Chaunaca, og vi gik langs den i omkring 2 timer og beundrede skønheden i disse Andesbjerge.
En anden attraktion i dette område er de indfødte samfund i Jalqa-kulturen, såsom de mennesker, der bor i landsbyen Maragua. Her lever hundredvis af mennesker i en unik og speciel kultur. I samfundet vil vi besøge en families hjem, hvor de vil lære os om deres liv, kultur, traditioner og tekstiler.
Maragua-krateret, der ligger nær Sucre, Bolivia, er en imponerende geologisk formation, der skiller sig ud for sin unikke og naturlige skønhed. Krateret er kendt for sine farverige lag af sedimentær sten, der skaber en spektakulær visuel effekt med nuancer, der spænder fra rød til grøn. Ud over sin unikke geologi er krateret hjemsted for oprindelige samfund, der har bevaret deres kulturelle traditioner, hvilket tilføjer antropologisk værdi til besøget. Stierne, der krydser regionen, byder på panoramaudsigt over det omkringliggende bjergrige landskab. Maragua-krateret er uden tvivl et must-besøg-destination for dem, der søger en oplevelse, der kombinerer natur, historie og kultur i de bolivianske Andesbjerge.
Dinosaurfodsporene ved Niñu Mayu, der ligger nær Sucre, Bolivia, er et af de mest imponerende palæontologiske steder i regionen. Disse fodspor, bevaret i lag af sedimentær sten, tilhører forskellige arter af dinosaurer, der beboede området for omkring 65 millioner år siden. Stedet er berømt for klarheden og størrelsen af fodsporene, hvoraf nogle måler flere centimeter i længden. Disse indtryk giver videnskabsmænd og besøgende mulighed for at forestille sig disse forhistoriske giganters passage gennem regionen. Niñu Mayu er et fascinerende sted for dem, der er interesseret i palæontologi, og tilbyder et unikt vindue ind i Jordens fjerne fortid.
Returen til Sucre finder sted efter at have besøgt dinosaurernes fodspor, og det tager cirka to timer, afhængigt af trafikken. Besøgende bliver sat af på deres respektive overnatningssteder.

This was a great, long day in the splendid outdoors around Sucre. Good hiking, beautiful views, excellent lunch. Fascinating with the dinosaur footprints and the J'alqa weaving. Manuel did a good job as our guide. Suggestion: Have a designated trash bag from the start of the trip. We saw the driver throwing a plastic bottle into the bushes...
From start to finish everything was well organized. Gary was a very knowledgeable and chill guide. We had ample time to see the gorgeous landscape of the inka trail and we had the chance to have a little bit of rain which contrasted the dinosaurs footprints a lot. I highly recommend this experience.
1. Inca trail is seriously down hill. Maybe drop 500m in 4km. 2. Trail has been eroded. 30m section is now on dirt/crumbly small rocks, and is 200m drop if footing not secure. No warning of this in tour info or by guide. Another section had same problem, and has been reconstructed safely. 3. Lunch is a packed lunch picnic, probably prepared by guide. Very local Bolivian, thus cheap and not appropriate for 100 dollar tour. 4. At least 5 hours spent in 4x4, mostly on dirt roads, 1st gear. 5. Fabulous scenery and remoteness.
Very nice, we had a super nice guide. Towards the end of the tour you will go back up the mountain by car. This was huge style with a huge abyss next to you. If you're afraid of heights, this isn't super. Especially because the driver was really driving against the edge of the abyss and we had to stop on the way because a car had run off the road and fallen down. Luckily the passengers came out miraculously unharmed but this made the last part even scarier. Furthermore, the tour was really very fun.
First you drive all the way up to the mountain. With us it was very foggy, so we didn’t really know what to expect. But on the top of the mountain we got out of the car and from there we walked 90% downhill were the car was waiting. My father had some troubles with the hike, but our guide was very patient and very helpfull. They also have some medical stuff with them. After the hike we went to a place to have a delicious lunch, made by their own, and after the lunch we went to the place with the dinousaurs footprints. Overall a great experience!!
We had an interesting day out, with excellent scenery. The guide was professional, and the driver was good and drove safely. We were taken to some places which felt very off the beaten track, including to visit a weaver, and the lunch was great. It is quite a long day (left at 0830, back at 1815) with a lot of driving between the sights. The price is much higher than what we have paid for other tours in Bolivia, but the group size was small (4).
Good tour. Lots of walking but mostly downhill. The footprints are amazing. Guide seemed knowledgeable
We really enjoyed the Inca Trail Trek and tour of Maragua Crater. David and Carlos are excellent hosts and guides, punctual, informative and attentive. The tour was exactly as described, the scenery gorgeous and all of the places very beautiful and interesting. This tour is highly recomendable!
I really enjoyed the mix of activities on this one day tour - the hike along a prehispanic road through impressive mountain scenery, the colours and remote community of Maragua crater, and the amazing dinosaur footprints. I felt in safe hands with Henry the guide, who kept his eye out for me while trekking on the steep trails, and also explained each place we visited. The driver was very good too.
Wonderful day in the mountains with David and the guide, both great. Walked on the way to the Inca then detoured by dinosaur prints.
