Choquequirao Trek 4 Days

Choquequirao is one of the most surprising archaeological sites after Machu Picchu, it could even be considered the younger brother of the Wonder of the World. The only way to get to this incredible site is through a classic 4-day trekking hike. The reward that this trek brings is comparable to that of the Inca Trail, full of astonishing landscapes and accompanied by one of the most amazing Inca ruins in Peru. That is why together with the experts from Misky Expeditions we have prepared the itinerary with everything you need to know about this magical Inca citadel. It is one of the best alternative or complementary tours to Machu Picchu. If you have enough time, we highly recommend that you undertake this route.
