Choquequirao Trek

The Choquequirao Trek is one of Peru's most rewarding adventures, leading to a massive Inca citadel that rivals Machu Picchu in scale and beauty but receives only a handful of visitors each day. The journey is challenging but the reward of having this spectacular site virtually to yourself is unmatched.

The Citadel

Choquequirao sits at 3,050 meters on a mountain ridge above the Apurimac Canyon. The site features terraces decorated with unique white stone llama mosaics, plazas, temples, and residential areas spread across a vast complex that is still being excavated.

The Trek

The route descends deep into the Apurimac Canyon before climbing steeply to the ruins. Options range from a 4-day return trek to extended 7-day routes that continue to Machu Picchu, creating an epic journey between Peru's two greatest Inca cities.

Wonders of Peru Expeditions offers guided Choquequirao treks with experienced local guides, mule support for equipment, and comfortable camping at scenic campsite locations.
