About this experience
The Classic Choquequirao Trek is an awesome option for true adventurers, history lovers, and nature enthusiasts. You’ll head off the beaten path and away from other tourists as you venture through the incredible scenery along a rarely traveled trail to a real archaeological gem. Join us as part of a group or as a couple.
Choquequirao trek is an exciting alternative trek to the Inca Trail. The lesser-known ruins of Choquequirao feature similar architecture and layout to the more famous complex of Machu Picchu. The fact that you can only get there on foot, however, means that far fewer people visit this incredible site.
