Trekking to Maragua Crater: Why Go

Trekking to Maragua Crater

This 1 (or 2 day) trek in the Cordillera de Los Frailes near Sucre is one of the most famous and popular hikes in Bolivia. On Maragua Crater Trek, we visit part of the spectacular mountain range of the Friars, the pre-hispanic road, the so-called Gorge of the Devil and the Crater of Maragua. Besides the fascinating views of the geological formations in the valley, you also have the opportunity to get to know the community of Maragua.


Maragua Crater is an impressive natural landscape with rock formations, waterfalls, and canyons. A visit to the famous dinosaur footprints is also included. This Bolivian Inca Trail is an immersive experience that will lead you through breathtaking landscapes and cultural discoveries.
