Discovered by a French explorer in the 18th century, the Choquequirao Trek (meaning “cradle of gold”) fascinated 19th century explorers, including Hiram Bingham, before he discovered Machu Picchu.
Magnificent and mysterious, this abandoned city bears many similarities to Machu Picchu, and there are many theories about its function. However, it was only recently that COPESCO (the official agency in charge of tourism in Peru) cleared some of the ruins and there is still much to discover on the Choquequirao Trek.
Choquequirao Trek is located in the cloud forest 1,150 meters (3,772 feet) above the Apurimac River, surrounded by a stunning landscape created by the Vilcabamba Mountains, offering all the comforts of trekking.
But due to its remote location, few tourists used to visit it. Fortunately, COPESCO is now also building a footbridge over the Apurimac River below the site, making it even more accessible. A challenging but amazing experience to hike deep into the Apurimac Canyon and reach the clouds…
For the Choquequirao Trek We pick you up from your hotel at about at 5.00 am and travel by bus, for about 4 hours to 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 chiquiska or ‘La Playa Rosa Linda’ (1650m/5413ft).
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 close to the site (3033m/9950 ft).
Today, we will have breakfast followed by a 3-hour guided tour around Choquequirao itself. After this, we descend to our last campsite, ‘Santa Rosa’.
We will wake to birds’ songs and beautiful scenery. We will walk to Cachora and from there take a bus back to Cusco to arrive at about 7 or 8 pm this is the end of our Choquequirao trek.
