Condor Trekkers offers city tours of Sucre and hikes in the local area including the spectacular Cordillera de los Frailes and the magnificent crater of Maragua. Condor Trekkers operates as a social enterprise—one hundred percent of the profits from these treks are directly invested in the communities through which the clients hike, as well as several established social projects within Sucre.
Why Trek with Condor Trekkers in Sucre?
Condor Trekkers was initiated in 2008 in Sucre, Bolivia, and is modeled on the Quetzaltrekkers organization, which has been supporting children at risk in Guatemala since 1995 and in Nicaragua since 2004.
It’s a non-profit NGO offering a range of treks in and around Sucre. All proceeds support development projects in the countryside where we hike as well as within Sucre. These projects provide food and accommodation as well as recreation, education and health services to local children and communities in need.

Some of the hikes you can participate in include trekking from Chataquila to Chaunaca, or a one-day trek to the Maragua Crater and the Niñi Mayu dinosaur footsteps, or a half-day agronomic excursion.

Here’s a snapshot of a few things on offer.
Local Farm Tour

Lunch is included in this incredible cultural experience near Sucre.
Four-Day Trek
You’ll shoulder a backpack for this multi-day hike, where you need to be fit enough to trek roughly 20km each day. It’s no easy task since you’ll face steep climbs, steep descents, and long flat sections each day.
Compared to the shorter crater hike, responsible travelers rave that this trek rewards you with some of the best views and trails you’ll ever see.
Like all Condor Trekker Tours, the food is plentiful, healthy, and delicious. Expect tea, coffee, crackers, fruits and a hot dish like quinoa porridge for breakfast. Lunch is filling and more fitting for a mid-day meal, which includes sandwiches, hearty salads, and more. You’ll fill up on thick soups for dinner, or perhaps a lentil vegetarian dish.
Trabuco Market & Local Village Experience
Your 10km trek takes you over Sucre’s beautiful terrain and to the village of Pisili, where you’ll have the chance to experience local Yampara culture in a way unavailable in nearly any other type of tour in the country. Truly get to known Bolivia’s culture on this experience.
