Choquequirao Treks

Step into the past with the Choquequirao Trek, a challenging and rewarding 4- to 9-day adventure that takes you to one of the most remote and spectacular Inca sites in Peru. Often referred to as the “Sister City of Machu Picchu,” Choquequirao is a vast, hidden archaeological complex nestled in the rugged mountains of the Vilcabamba range. Far less visited than Machu Picchu, this trek offers a truly unique and off-the-beaten-path experience for adventurous travelers.

The journey to Choquequirao is not for the faint-hearted—steep ascents and descents lead you through dramatic Andean landscapes, including deep canyons, lush cloud forests, and towering mountain ranges. Along the way, you’ll encounter spectacular views of the Apurímac River and possibly spot wildlife like condors soaring overhead.

As you reach Choquequirao, you’ll explore this magnificent Inca city, where terraces, plazas, temples, and intricate stonework await, all surrounded by the grandeur of the mountains. The site remains largely unexcavated, adding to its mystique and allure. For those seeking an even greater challenge, the trek can be extended to connect with Machu Picchu, forming an epic expedition through Peru’s hidden valleys and ancient wonders.
