The tour includes everything necessary for the walk: tourist transport, a team of cooks (breakfast, lunch and dinner), a team of porters, hiking equipment, entrance to all places, a tour guide service and more.

• The Choquequirao Trek experience is organized so that the visitor is simply dedicated to enjoying the walk and visiting the archaeological site. The trip begins with the transfer in tourist transport from the city of Cusco to the town of Cachora, the starting point of the walk. The first days of the tour are arduous due to the fact that you will ascend through a canyon under a burning sun. On the third day we will visit the famous archaeological site of Choquequirao. Finally you will return by the same way back enjoying the beautiful landscapes. The way back is easier. In Cachora the tourist transport will wait to return it to Cusco. The tour includes everything to enjoy the adventure: transportation, entrance fees, tour guide, implements, camps, food and more.
• It all begins with the tourist picking up at the door of their hotel in the city of Cusco. The minivan will take you to the town of Cachora, near the Apurímac region. There they will enjoy a delicious lunch at the Chiquisca camp. Then restart the walk.
• Then we will descend through theApurímac canyon until we arrive at the Santa Rosa camp where we will have dinner and spend the night well wrapped up and listening to the murmur of the river.
• The last day we will enjoy a nutritious breakfast to continue with all the energy the final section of the route. We will walk through typical sections of the Andes until we arrive at the town of Capulilloc where we will taste lunch at a local restaurant.

DAY 1:

• It all starts with the tourist pick up at the door of your hotel in the city of Cusco. The minivan will take you to the town of Cachora near the Apurímac region.

• Then we will walk down the Apurímac canyon until we arrive at the Chiquisca camp where we will have dinner and spend the night well sheltered and listening to the sound of the river.

DAY 2:

• Very early in the morning we will enjoy a nutritious breakfast made by our cooks. Then we will get ready for the walk that day will be uphill and very demanding. We will descend towards the sector known as ‘Playa Rosalina’. We will cross the river over a bridge and begin the ascent to the Santa Rosa farmhouse. We will continue on our way up through increasingly green landscapes until we arrive at our Marampata camp where we will have lunch and have the afternoon free to rest and enjoy the place.
• At the time indicated by our guide, we will have dinner and sleep in our well-conditioned camp.

DAY 3:

• On the third day we will enjoy a delicious breakfast in the early hours of the day. Then we will get ready to continue with the walk that in a short time will take us to the archaeological site of Choquequirao.
• In the company of our tour guide we will visit its temples, squares and enclosures. The entire archaeological site will be at our disposal as there are very few visitors who arrive there mainly because it is only possible to do so with this trekking route. In the afternoon we will have lunch near the place.
