CHOQUEQUIRAO TREK
5D/4N

When possible we highly recommend hiking this trail in 5 days, in order to be able to spend a full day (trek day 3) in the Choquequirao ruins. The Inca city is situated in the vast landscape of the Vilcabamba Range above the Apurimac River Canyon. Thick forest has covered this Inca site for many years and it has only recently been discovered. Choquequirao was the dwelling of the last rebel Incas of Vilcabamba and similar to Machu Picchu, it is thought that the Spanish never discovered it. This is a challenging trek traversing different ecosystems. There are amazing views of the Vilcabamba Range and the trail descends deep into the Apurimac Canyon, a truly magnificent hike.

Reviews Choquequirao 5D4N

We had a fantastic experience with Salvador, our guide from Quechua Treks for the well-known Km104 day hike to Machu Picchu. On this trip, you take the scenic railroad from Ollantaytambo to a rail stop 12km away from Machu Picchu and hike the Inca Trail through some of the most breathtaking scenery you'll ever see. There are ruins along the way, a waterfall, orchids, ferns, birds, steep climbs up Inca-built stairs and terraces. Unforgettable.
