Choquequirao, which translates from the Quechua language as ‘Cradle of Gold’, offers one of the most stunning adventure excursions available. This trek takes participants to what is considered one of the last strongholds of the Inca civilization. It is believed that, akin to the Machu Picchu citadel, Choquequirao served as a key site for the political, religious, and cultural events of the Inca society. This journey demands significant physical effort, with trekkers expected to walk an average of six hours each day. Thus, it is imperative that visitors are in prime physical shape. The trek features a variety of landscapes — from the magnificent sights of the Apurímac canyon, through different Andean communities, to various elevations. Travelers will have the chance to interact with local residents, gaining insights into their life stories and traditions. This excursion is highly recommended for those who enjoy vigorous outdoor hiking and extensive interaction with the natural environment. If you have any inquiries, we are here to provide assistance.
