About
The Quechua name “Choquequirao” means “Cradle of Gold” and this Inca site is located high above the raging Apurimac River, surrounded by lush tropical cloud forest. This was one of the last refuges of the Incas after the Spanish invasion. The route to Choquequirao will take you through breathtaking scenery, from arid slopes dotted with cacti to dense cloud forest inhabited by many bird species, watched over throughout the trek by the great snow peaks the Incas believed were gods. This trip is a wonderful opportunity to explore one of Peru’s remotest mountain regions and least well-known Inca cities. This packages is create for the hikers who is looking to enjoy and stay plenty time in Choquequirao Trek, during the 5 days the distance is considerable with 6 to 7 hours hike, the land scape and wild life takes more time to make enjoyable and unforgettable journeys.

Dec 2019
I heard and read a lot about Choquequirao trek and was very excited to do this. Beware it is not an easier thing but totally worth it. I booke this tour with Karen and the night before the trek she gave me a detailed briefing and also gave me an introduction about the tour and guide. The guide was very friendly and we instantly connected which was a very good thing. The following five days were very challenging (with hikes) but the information and the sights were totally rewarding. The porters did a tremendous job and the chef who prepared meals everyday was very quick and it was the best meals i had in Peru. I never felt like those meals were cooked with a minimum logistics. I have no words to describe my gratitude to the whole team and with no doubts I highly reccomend this tour and Machu Picchu Peru Cusco company.
