Description
Embark on an unforgettable journey as you venture 30 kilometers outside the city to start a day of discoveries. The first stop is a meeting with history at the iconic Church of Chataquila, a silent witness to the tumultuous battles once fought for the fate of the indigenous leader Tomás Katari. Just 50 meters from the church, a 2-hour hike begins, leading you along an elevated path of a pre-Hispanic trail. As you ascend, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views that reveal the stunning landscape in all its glory. Immerse yourself in the world of medicinal plants, discovering species like muña and wira wira, and uncovering their ancient secrets. This panoramic hike culminates in the charming village of Chaunaca, a testament to the enduring spirit of the land. After this invigorating hike, comfortable transportation will take you to one of the highlights of the trip: the enigmatic Maragua Crater. Here, nature's palette blends with the vibrancy of the local agriculture of the Jalq'a people, painting a truly magical scene. Delve into local life by visiting artisan houses, where traditional textile crafts come alive before your eyes. Don’t miss the Santa Ana Viewpoint, the poignant Cemetery, and the impressive Devil's Throat, each weaving stories of the community's deep-rooted beliefs. Enjoy a delicious box lunch with this picturesque backdrop before embarking on a 25-minute walk from the crater to the next stage of the adventure. Walk the trail leading to the mystical community of Niñu Mayu, a realm where the footprints of prehistoric giants—the Cretaceous dinosaurs—have been preserved for eternity. Spend about 2 hours exploring these incredible fossilized footprints, taking a journey through time. As the sun begins to set, you will return to the city, with your heart and mind brimming with the stories of the land, the echoes of legends, and the resonant footsteps of bygone eras. This meticulously prepared excursion is not just a trip but an opportunity to delve into the soul of a region, follow in the footsteps of history, and be captivated by the natural and cultural wonders that make this journey truly eternal.Includes
