Trekking tour to the Inca city of Choquequirao

The Cordillera Vilcamba is located northwest of Cuzco and is characterized by lonely, untouched land, from which the highest snow-capped peaks of central Peru tower up. Paths rich in vegetation lead you to the legendary Inca temple complex, which for a long time was overgrown by the jungle. This hike is especially recommended for passionate and experienced hikers.

Day 3

Choquequirao

This day is dedicated to the detailed exploration of the mysterious Inca city. Choquequirao is a late Incan foundation and is considered an important Inca site. It is believed that the last Inca Tupac Amaru grew up here among Inca priests.

After a hearty breakfast, the descent back into the valley of the Río Apurímac begins, whose cool water later invites you to take a refreshing swim. After about an hour of climbing you will reach Chikisqa, where you will set up camp for the night. F / LB / A

Day 5

Chikisqa / Cachora / Cuzco
