3.2 days trek in Inca Trails and the Crater de Maragua

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 11 reviews · 2 days · from $124

Walk from Chataquila along Inca stone paths to Maragua Crater, then continue to dinosaur footprints, Jalqa weaving communities, and Majada. The two-day trip covers about 28 kilometres, with shared lodging, meals, public transport out, and private transport back. Guides such as Gary, Li, Lizandro, and Johnny have led recent departures.

“Fantastische wandeling door extreem mooie natuur met ontzettend veel kleuren en uitgestrektheid. De tocht is heel divers (qua ondergrond, qua uitzichten en qua dingen die je ziet). De weg terug in de auto is spectaculair en alleen dat is de trip al waard. Onze gids Li vertelde veel mooie verhalen en geeft veel uitleg over bijv de dinosaurus-footprints. Hij liep alleen wel heel snel zodat er soms weinig tijd was om foto’s te maken. Het eten en de accommodatie onderweg zijn heel eenvoudig.”
