Choquequirao Trek 4D 3N

DAY 1: CUSCO – CACHORA – SANTA ROSA. (L-D)

We’ll leave from Cusco early in the morning by private transportation. Along the way, we will stop several times to enjoy the view and explore some Inca ruins, called Tarawasi in Limatambo. After, we’ll come into contact for the first time with the Apurimac river. Another stop is the great rock of Saywiti, with ancient carvings etched into it, just before Cachora village. Here we’ll meet out mountain crew, horse driver, mules and horses, who will carry our equipment. From the village of Cachora we can already observe the majestic Padreyoc glacier peaks (5482m). We’ll begin to notice the change of the landscape, from precipices to snowy mountains. From the viewpoint of Capuliyoc, we can begin to see part of Choquequirao, as the trail descends towards the Apurímac Canyon. We’ll have a lunch break at Apurimac river valley (1950m). From here we’ll continue the ascent towards Santa Rosa where we’ll see sugar cane plantations. It is here that we’ll set up camp for the night.

DAY 3: EXPLORE TO CHOQUEQUIRAO – RIO APURIMAC (PLAYA).(B-L-D)

Early on the morning of this day, you’ll have the option to explore Choquequirao one last time before returning to the camp site for breakfast and beginning the trek back down the Apurimac valley. We will spend this night camping in the Apurimac Valley.

DAY 4: APURIMAC RIVER – CACHORA – CUSCO. (B-L)

After breakfast, we’ll ascend right into Chiquisqa, passing farmer’s houses, and then to Capuliyoc for one last view of Choquequirao. After the pass, we will say goodbye to our wranglers, and take a bus back to Cusco.
