Inca Trail and Maragua Crater - 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!

Great way to see beautiful Bolivian countryside - 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.

Cordillera de los frailes - Wonderful day in the mountains with David and the guide, both great. Walked on the way to the Inca then detoured by dinosaur prints.

Awesome sites with a lot of walking! - We had a fun day overall but it was hard work! The pick up was on time and the driver was very professional getting us to the first stop. Although some reviewers say it’s mostly downhill, there are some places where there is an incline. This was a tiring trek, but definitely worth it in the end! The rest of the day we saw so many amazing sites. lunch was at a local hostal and it was delicious- many local products to try. The dinosaur tracks were another hike, down then up, but worth seeing! It’s amazing to think how long they’ve been there! I recommend doing this tour but if you are even a little out of shape, you might need to take things slowly!

Don’t miss it for a day! - More than the discovery of the crater and traces DE dinosaurs, Pablo (Mendoza) and his driver Ignacio allowed us to spend a wonderful and informative trek (nature, geology...), sharing lunch, exchange with locals, waterfall and devil's jaw. Thanks again to them both!

Great hike and tour - Wonderful experience! With a limited timeframe, I booked this solo tour. The guide and driver showed up early, were professional and friendly, and had neverending info about the flora, fauna, history, and culture of the Sucre area. The hike on the Inca trail was beautiful. It was almost entirely descending Incan stairways, so make sure you're ok with 2-2.5 hrs of downhill stairs, and bring water. The valley and crater views were incredible! We stopped by a weaver who showed me how she makes traditional handicrafts. There wasn't much pressure to buy anything. Lunch was delicious and plentiful- vegetarian- and we had snacks for later. Seeing the dinosaur footprints was also cool. We were back in Sucre by 4:30pm, which is one of the major advantages of doing a private tour: no waiting for anyone, and can go your speed. All in all, this was a great day and easily worth the money. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour with Pablo! - We did this tour with greentrekkers and it was a really great experience. Our guide Pablo told us a lot about the nature and the communities that we were visiting and he was really considering everything to be as sustainable as possible for both nature and the people living there. And walking on dinosaur footsteps was just so mindblowing!!! Would really recommend doing this trek or another with greentrekkers!

Fantastic! - That was a fantastic experience! Take a walk at Inka’s trail, have a guided tour and know more about local environment and have a nice lunch with a fantastic view, just before see dinosaur tracks! This was the best Sucre’s experience. It take a long walk, recommended confort clothes. Our best hugs to Luiz and Dinelsa (best guide and photographer hahaha).

Really good chance to experience Sucre's incredible nature up close! - A full day of incredible nature! The hike is not very demanding (mostly downhill) if you have good shoes. The dinosaur footprints were a highlight of the day!
