Choquequirao Trek

We will pick up participants from their hotels in a tourist transport that will take them for approximately 3 and a half hours to "San Pedro de Cachora" (2800 meters above sea level), a charming Andean town. From Capuliyoq, we will begin a 4-hour walk before arriving at our lunch spot. (Optionally, you can have lunch at Cocamasana), where we will continue our journey. During the tour from Capuliyoq, we will enjoy a wide variety of landscapes that cover different climates, such as the Padriyoc snow-capped mountain, as well as the diverse Andean flora and fauna that embellish our trip. We will have the opportunity to contemplate the deepest canyon in the world, the Apurimac Canyon, through which the Apurimac River flows, and we will also see the first views of Choquequirao. Then, we will continue descending to Chiquisca, where we will make a brief break. After lunch, we will begin our last stretch of the day, which will last approximately 1 hour descending towards the Palya Rosalina sector, located at about 1800 meters above sea level, near the Apurímac River, known as "the sacred river." From there, we will head to the Santa Rosa camp (1950m/6,397 feet), where we will enjoy tea, dinner and a well-deserved rest.

After the organic breakfast, the 3.5-hour ascent begins to the Marampata camp 3600m. that will be our place for lunch. During the hike you will be able to enjoy the splendid Apurimac canyon, the Choquequirao mountain and beautiful rugged mountains. After lunch, the walk is very gentle to reach the lost Inca city, Choquequirao, where there will be a walking tour of the area (optional camping depends on the pay to the porters), it is incredible because there are not many people who come to In this place, the guide will show you the most important places, the main square, the religious place and you can also go to the sector of the most beautiful terraces with llamas that were made on the wall with another type of rock and color. After visiting this place, we will return to our lunch place which will also be our camp. The camp is only outside the Inca site (Possibility of seeing the sunset and the condors)

After breakfast, we will continue the hike to our lunch place called Chiquisca, located at 1850 m / 6,069 feet altitude. We will walk approximately 5 hours downhill along the same path we took days before, arriving at Playa Rosalina, where we will take a short break, and then we will continue ascending slightly for 1.5 hours until we reach Chiquisca, where lunch awaits us. After eating, we will have a free afternoon, since our lunch place will also be our camp. In the afternoon, the weather is too hot and dry, making it difficult to walk in that area, so we will take a good rest, knowing that the next day we will start walking early before sunrise.

Today we will leave the camp very early before the first rays of the sun. After breakfast, we will walk 4 hours uphill to Capuliyoc, 2900m/9,517ft where we will have the last lunch with your expedition team. From this point we take the bus to Cusco for 3 hours to return to Cusco in the afternoon.
