Choquequirao Trek 4D/3N

The citadel of Choquequirao was one of the last Inca bastions where they resisted the Spanish invasion. With the passage of time this place has managed to maintain its original constructions and has become the best alternative for walks in the region of Cusco. During its journey presents a great variety of landscapes, altitudes and climates. This trip is recommended for people who enjoy hiking with a certain degree of difficulty in addition to not being very touristy. Let’s discover this extraordinary place together.

On this day we will walk for between 5 and 6 hours according to the speed of the group.

Second Day: Playa Rosalina – Santa Rosa – Marampata – Choquequirao
