Condor Trekkers is a non-profit organization that tries to help break some poverty in Bolivia. All proceeds are to help support the development projects in the countryside and some organization in Sucre.I have only and sadly done a one day tour with condor trekkers. I say sadly because it would have been nice to get in a longer tour has well. The one day trek I did was the ''Dinosaur and Waterfalls'' trek and it was very nice. The guide, Ivan, was awesome and I had fun having discussions with him along the way. We started at the agency in the morning and first went to visit the ''Parque Cretacico'' to see the longest dinosaur footprints in the world that are petrified in a wall of rock. After the small tour of the park we left for a walk along the river valley to get to the Seven Waterfalls of Sucre. A very nice spot where you can relax or take a swim in the pond of the waterfalls.
