CHOQUEQUIRAO TREK 4 DAYS

CHOQUEQUIRAO TREK 4 DAYS

The Choquequirao Trek 4 days from Cusco allows you to visit a real marvel of the Inca Culture. This spectacular destination is located in the Vilcabamba region, surrounded by imposing snow mountains and flanked by deep canyons with lush dense vegetation.

In addition, the 4-day Choquequirao Trek is very challenging because of its steep ascents and descents. But well worth the effort for its panoramic views and ancient Inca ruins. There are also fewer amenities and crowds, which is a prime motivation for many serious hikers who want to enjoy a more unspoiled experience.

If you already visited Machu Picchu, now there is another excuse to visit the incomparable Choquequirao. Similarly, there is another hot destination called Rainbow Mountain, which you can visit on a day trip from Cusco.

CHOQUEQUIRAO TREK 4 DAYS ITINERARY

Day 1. – Cusco – Cachora – Chiquiska

The Choquequirao Trek from Cusco will begin with a pick up from your hotel at 5:00 am. Travel by car for about 4 hours to the starting point of the trek called Capuliyoc. Here, we will meet our horse and mule wranglers, they’ll load up the equipment and food and we’ll begin our trek.

This trail to Choquequirao goes in the mountainside, heading towards the Apurimac Canyon, a deep canyon carved by the river. The Andean scenery is spectacular, rich in flora and fauna. Late in the afternoon, we’ll arrive at one of two possible campsites, Chiquiska or La Playa Rosa Linda.

Distance: 17km / 10.5 miles
Meals: lunch – dinner
Accommodation: Tents (2 people per tent).

Day 2. – Chiquiska – Marampata – Choquequirao

Today we wake up very early again to have a filling breakfast to start our Choquequirao trek to cross the Apurimac River. Following the river, we have a steep ascent through a thick cloud forest towards our destination for about 4 hours.

We will have a substantial lunch after this morning’s tough climb and then take a well-deserved rest. We’ll arrive at the archaeological site of Choquequirao. You’ll have free time to explore, look for native animals, maybe even see a soaring condor, and appreciate the panoramic views across the Apurimac River canyon. We’ll camp close to Choquequirao, the same as the Incas did in the past.

Distance: 14 km/12 miles
Accommodation: tents (2 people per tent)
Meals: breakfast – lunch – dinner

Day 3. – Choquequirao Guided Tour – Playa Camp

After an early-morning breakfast, you’ll have about a 2-hour guided tour of Choquequirao. Our Choquequirao trek tour guide will explain about its history and function during the Inca culture. We’ll return by the same trail to our campsite at La Playa.

Distance: 14 km/8.6 miles
Meals: breakfast – lunch – dinner
Accommodation: Camping (2 people per tent).

Day 4. – Playa – Cachora – Cusco

Enjoy the last breakfast and start hiking very early to avoid the hot sun during our steep ascent to Capuliyoq.

We will arrive around 8:00 pm to Cusco and drop you off at the hotel.
