About this experience
Embark on the four-day Choquequirao Trek in Peru, starting in the Cusco Region. This journey takes you through the Apurimac Canyon and alongside the Apurimac River. On this 64-kilometer (40-mile) trek, you'll approach "Choquequirao," meaning "Cradle of Gold," located at about 3,050 meters (10,000 feet) elevation. Hidden amidst high-altitude vegetation, the enigmatic ruins of Choquequirao await. Despite the challenging thin air, the breathtaking sight of the untouched Inca ruins is the ultimate reward.
