Claire and Max complete a two-day, 36-kilometer trek to the Maragua crater near Sucré, Bolivia, joined by friends Héloïse and Antoine met earlier in Peru.0:08 Day one covers 18 km with 1,200 meters of descent and 450 meters of ascent, starting from the village of Chattakia along an Inca stone path.1:08 A serious water shortage develops by midday: hiking in 30°C heat, the group drains their supply within the first 10 km and spends roughly two hours without water before locating a small waterfall.2:53 They treat the water using filtering bottles and purification tablets, having skipped a brown river crossing earlier.6:42 A deteriorating rope suspension bridge forces the group to cross one at a time.3:53 Day one ends at a hostal; Antoine and Héloïse camp in the garden.8:46 Day two begins at 6:30 a.m. in overcast, rainy conditions for a 6-hour walking day that includes a stop at the dinosaur footprint site, where tracks are visible to the naked eye but difficult to capture on GoPro or drone.9:32 Navigation relies heavily on Maps.me, as the trail is poorly marked.10:57 Day two logs roughly 18 km with 450–500 meters of ascent.11:55 The group reaches Potolo village by 12:30 p.m. to catch a collectivo back. Carrying more water than seems necessary is the clear lesson from day one's near-dehydration.
