Itinerary description
Start the trip at 6:00 a.m if possible. Bring all your food for the day. Take a trufi ir a taxi to take you to Chataquilla. This is where you start on an Inca trail that goes down the mountain. If you trust your driver you could ask him/her to pick you up the next day from Quila Quila at around 3:00 p.m.
At the end of the trail you'll find a road. Take the road to the left and walk until you find a big sign and an entrance to the left (about 500 m.). Go through that entrance and follow the route. You'll spend the night in Maragua. Maragua is a community in the middle of the crater. Beautiful. People are kind. Ask them which the best hotel, you will find accommodation easily. Bring your own food. Water, some snacks and wine maybe available.
Start walking the next day at 8:00 am at the latest. Follow the route until you in end in Quila Quila. You can hire a taxi or bus to take you back to Sucre, although it may not be guaranteed you can find one... I think it is best if you can hire transportation ahead of time.

Estuve en Incamachay y Pumamachay cuando residia en Sucre. Pero me gustaria esta ruta por los alrededores de Chataquila y otra vez por el crater de Maragua, siempre estuve de paso por motivos de trabajo. Sospecho que este crater es por un meteoro que cayo en tiempo muy remoto desde el lado medio sud este hacia el nor oeste si vi bien el mapa. Soy adaptable a toda condicion ambiental y geografica.
Resido en Cochabamba movil 707 40035 Puedo ir a Sucre en cualquier momento para esta ruta. Solamente alguna compañia sana, sin limite de edad, genero. Basta amar la naturaleza, la vida y la fotografia.
