JOURNEY TO CHOQUEQUIRAO TREK
| Price per person for the Choquequirao Trek in private service. Airfares not included. |
The Choquequirao Trek 5 days is for the one with a truly explorer’s spirit. Choquequirao (Cradle of Gold) is a spectacular architectural complex of similar outreach and political and religious function as Machu Picchu. Located at 3103m/ 10178ft above the vigorous Apurimac River Gorge, it can be reached after hiking up a trail 60 km / 38 mile long.
Choquequirao was underestimated and hidden from public knowledge for 300 years! but now it is open to anyone willing to discover its beauty and startling well-preserved structures. It is currently part of the ranks of the world’s greatest Lost Cities.
You will be impressed with the diverse flora and fauna and the chance to spot condors in their natural habitat surrounded by the mountains, in particular the sacred Salkantay peak.
Choquequirao Trek 5 days is a good alternative to the sometimes overcrowded traditional Inca Trail Machu Picchu.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Challenging. We strongly recommend acclimatizing to the altitude by staying for at least two-three days in Cusco prior to the Choquequirao Trek 5 days.
