Choquekirao Trek 4D/3N

Day 1

We pick you up from your hotel at about 8am and travel by bus, for about 4 hours, to the small village of Cachora where we will meet our horseman and mules. We will begin our trek along the edge of the Apurimac canyon and follow the trail, enjoying the dramatic landscapes and a variety of plant and animal life until we reach our campsite, ‘Santa Rosa’ (1650m/5413ft).

This day will be day the hardest of our trek (8 hours more or less)

Day 2:

We will get up early, have breakfast and begin our walk by crossing the Apurimac River and then descending to the lowest point on the trail. Following this, we have a steep ascent through a thick cloud forest towards the Inca site of Choquequirao. We will have lunch and then time to relax and enjoy the archeological zone, plants, animals (hopefully condors), and views of nearby canyons and snow-capped mountains (Soray – 5428m/17808ft andTuncarway 5910m/19389ft). We will camp in Choquequirao inca site (3033m/9950ft) (5 hours walking more or less)

Today, we will have breakfast followed by a 3-hour guided tour around Choquequirao itself. After this, we descend to our last campsite, ‘Chiquista' (6 hours more or less).
