About This Tour

Explore the "Cradle of Gold" - Choquequirao, on a 5-day trek through the mighty canyons above the Apurimac River. This is the lesser-known yet larger counterpart of Machu Picchu, so you'll traverse a less-traveled trail along high Inca paths and camp in breathtaking Andean landscapes. Along the way, witness diverse ecosystems teeming with native flora and fauna, including the majestic Andean Condor. This is a Small-Group experience (maximum 12 people). Included muleteers, porters, and a chef for a comfortable journey
