Chataquila & Inca Trail
Chataquila – Camino del Inca
A stone chapel on a ridge and an Inca stone-paved road descending the mountain, a classic hiking route around Sucre.
Chataquila is a ridge about 25 km northwest of Sucre, home to a small stone chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe with wide views. From here, the well-preserved Inca stone-paved road descends for about 2 to 3 hours to the Chivasi valley, and you can continue toward Maragua. Ancient rock art can be seen along the way, though sites such as Incamachay require a guide. You can take an early-morning bus toward Potolo and get off at the mountain pass, or join a one-day hiking tour. Bring plenty of water and sun protection.
