Overview

Choquequirao is a captivating expedition that will take you into the Peruvian Andes and culminate in the stunning Inca site of Choquequirao. Considered the “sister city” of the iconic Machu Picchu, Choquequirao remains a hidden gem that offers an authentic and off-the-beaten-beaten-path experience to those who seek it. This challenging hike will take you through diverse landscapes, ranging from high mountain passes to lush cloud forests and green valleys, including the Apurimac Canyon with its breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and towering mountains.
