Choquequirao Trekking

5d/4N

INTRODUCTION

Choquequirao Trek five days takes you to one of the last refuges of the Incas considered as such by all the vestiges that exist in the place such as ceremonial plazas, warehouses, houses, and many agricultural terraces that suggest inhabited by many people who fled from the Spanish conquerors (another important one has been in Vilcabamba la Vieja, where 75 years after the conquest, the last Inca, Tupac Amaro the First, was capture by the Spaniards and their allied local soldiers and executed in Cusco).

Choquequiraro is an important archaeological site of great interest, full of mystery. Many consider the place to be bigger than Machu  Picchu and very fascinating.  

Only about 50% or less of the total area was rescued from the jungle, the rest is overgrown but still, it is very interesting and worth a visit.

The only way to get there is by walking, walking down into the deep Apurimac river canyon, and up again to the ruins. it takes five days to attend, two days of trekking to reach the Inca site, one full day to explore the vast area, and then 2 days to return the same way. If you have enough time to visit this place, we recommend that you

We toured Peru by car for 2 weeks and were completely enthusiastic about the entire trip. Nora and Mario responded to all our wishes and put together a perfect and individual trip for us: the hotels were great, the excursions were great, the organization was perfect! We didn't have to worry about anything - everything was as described

Andean Origins ist eine Reiseagentur, welche als eine von wenigen Fly-and-Drive anbietet. Wir haben uns für eine zweiwöchige RdReise durch Südperu entschieden. Schon während der Reiseplanung und -vorbereitung waren wir von der Aufmerksamkeit und Professionalität überzeugt. Das Vorschläge konnten von uns abgeändert werden und wurden perfekt aufgenommen bzw. integriert. Von der Ankunft am Flughafen in Lima, über die Übergabe des KFZ, bis hin zur Deponierung von Eintrittskarten in den Hotels war alles durchdacht und für uns vorbereitet. Auch während eines "incidents" vor Ort, war Andean Origins erreichbar und hat sich um uns gekümmert. Sehr begeistert waren wir auch von den ausgewählten Hotels (Standard, Location, Sauberkeit,...). Andean Origins bleibt unser Ansprechpartner für die nächste Reise und ist absolut empfehlenswert. Zusammengefasst: es war wunderbar. Danke für alles.

We have booked a three-week round trip with a car as a self-driver. All the hotels were excellently chosen the journey very well thought out. We received an exact map (using an app) and were able to navigate very well. Even before a road blockade (strike) we were informed and were able to avoid a traffic jam. The selected guides were exceptionally qualified and quickly responded to all special requests. The excursion to Rainbow Mountain suggested as an alternative was also sensational and very well described. We would book here again and again. Many thanks for everything
