Highlights Trip

 

The 7-day Choquequirao Trek is a challenging and comprehensive Andean journey that connects the Inca’s “cradle of gold,” Choquequirao, with the iconic Machu Picchu. The route begins with a strenuous descent into the deep Apurimac Canyon, followed by demanding ascents to fully explore the remote Choquequirao site. The trek then progresses through high-altitude landscapes, crossing Maizal and Yanama, before offering a necessary rest day at the Santa Teresa hot springs. Finally, the journey culminates with a hike to Llactapata, providing the first distant view of Machu Picchu, leading travelers to Aguas Calientes for the early morning visit to the famous citadel, concluding an epic experience blending history and challenging nature.
