Choquequirao Trek takes you off the traditional path, away from the crowded places. This trip does not take you to Machu Picchu. Instead, you will walk to another lost Inca City. This spectacular archaeological site was hidden in the mountains for centuries and was recently discovered. During the hike to Choquequirao, you may see less than a dozen travelers, making this place a truly unique  retreat.

We begin pick you up from your hotel in Cusco between 4:30 am and 5:00 am and will take you through the Andes towards Capuliyoc, arriving at approximately 8:30 am. We will enjoy a delicious breakfast together before beginning the walk to Choquequirao: one of the legendary lost cities of the Incas. It’s a 4-hour downhill hike from Capuliyoc (9550 ft / 2911 m) to our lunch spot in Chiquiska (1893 m / 6210 ft). Along the way, you can enjoy impressive views of the Apurimac canyon, one of the deepest in Peru, and spectacular panoramic views of the different landscapes: from the mountains of Peru to the deep vegetation of the cloud forest.
