After the sunrise, visit the chapel of Chataquilla to learn about its history and cultural significance. Next, start a 20 minutes hike to the mountain's summit. From this vantage point, enjoy spectacular views of the Tumpeca Valley, the indigenous community of Chaunaca, the Maragua Crater, and part of the city of Sucre. As you continue the hike throughout the morning, take in the stunning scenery, including impressive geological formations, local flora, and forests.

Continue for about 30 more minutes to Incamachay, where you’ll find more cave paintings and traces of ancient communities. The hike then leads to the Jalqa community of Tumpeca, nestled in a valley near a river. Enjoy a vegetarian lunch in Maragua after departing from Tumpeca. From there, you’ll be treated to incredible views of the colorful mountains near Sucre, rich with various minerals. Inside the Maragua Crater, visit the Jalqa community of Maragua and the area known as the Devil's Throat, featuring a small waterfall and a stunning viewpoint.
