Reviews of choquequirao to machu picchu We had an excellent time on our trek to Choquequirao to Machu Picchu with Quechuas Expeditions. http://www.quechuasexpeditions.com/ There are so many different tour operators to choose from, we felt really fortunate that we made the right choice! The price was very reasonable, especially considering there were only two of us on the trek, and it was still about the same price as large group treks with other companies. We were picked up from the airport, and they even helped us book a hostel that was in our price range after we arrived in Cusco. Very helpful when you are jet lagged after a long flight. Before we left for our trek we were able to meet our guide and he briefed us on the adventure we had in store for us so we knew what to expect. The whole process was very organized, including the transportation, making it easy to just enjoy the experience without having to deal with the nuances. The trek itself was absolutely amazing. The scenery was breathtaking and we saw very few tourists on the trail for the first 6 days. Choquequirao is so great because you actually can walk around and explore it without being bombarded by a million tourists. The ruins are so large that you can actually walk around without bumping into many people at all giving you time to truly enjoy it, and at your own pace. We were really pleased that we chose this trek because you really have time to enjoy the granduer of the Andes and see how people live in the mountains of Peru. It truly is a beautiful place. Hmmm, what else can I rave about? Oh yeah, the food! Seriously, we were truly impressed. We are vegetarians, and a lot of times vegetarian food in S. America can be rather bland. This was definitely not the case with Quechuas. We had amazing meals three times a day, including snacks while we were walking and tea time prior to dinner every night. The equipment was also great. The tent was nice and big enough for us and all of our stuff. We definitely experienced every kind of weather while we were on the trek, including torrential downpours and freezing temperatures and we slept great every night. Last but not least, our guide Percy was fantastic. It was basically like we were hiking with a buddy, except he knew EVERYTHING. We had a great time talking and joking, but he also told us interesting things around every turn. He knew about the mountains, flora, fauna, history, archeology…….you name it. I definitely recommend this trek and this company. You will have the adventure of a lifetime that you will not forget! Portland, Oregon USA — Emily Whiteman
