Cordillera de los Frailes

On my final weekend in Sucre I spent two days trekking in the nearby mountain range, the Cordilleras de Frailles, with a great NFP organisation called Condor trekkers whose vegetarian cafe in Sucre had the best tucamanas I've tasted so far, and probably the nicest staff. A group of 5 of us from my hostal joined with 4 others and two brilliant guides, Henry and Hugo, to make a really memorable last weekend with amazing Andean scenery and real dinosaur footprints! Although it also showed me quite how unfit I was at only moderate altitude (around 2500-3000m) and I chewed coca leaves pretty much continuously throughout day 2!
