Report Check-Ine parked here as well while doing the two day Maragua Cráter Trek and stayed two days just relaxing afterwards. You can park at the rim of the mountain with a marvellous view! There are multiple small paths and routes that you can take to wander through the landscape. It's quiet. And we had some decent entel signal.
For the hike through the Maragua Cráter: it's 2 days and approx. 36 km. The first day you hike about 900 m down from the start and then throughout the day approx. 600m back up. You can stay overnight in Maragua, there are a couple of basic hostels. The second day it's approx. 500-600m up and down to Potolo from where you can easily take a bus or trufi back to Chataquila. Take enough food for the 2 days as there are no stores on the way and food in the hostels is limited.
Report Check-InWe parked our van here 2 days to do the "Maragua trail" : no problem. Then we spent 2 nights here : very quiet at night and some locals working in the church during the day.
There is a spring with water but the flow is very slow, but perfect to get water to take à shower.
The spot is flat and can welcome 2-3 vehicles.
good spot for the night, flat and plenty of space. perfect if you want to do some of the inca trail hike the next day. few cars passed in day but no one at night. two friendly dogs came to say hi.
