Your Safety, Comfort & Experience

Unlike a traditional camping expedition, your horses and professional local horsemen transport the camping equipment, food, cooking supplies, and other essential gear throughout the trek. This allows you to enjoy the spectacular landscapes of the Apurímac Canyon and Choquequirao while hiking with a significantly lighter daypack.

The combination of adventure, history, nature, and isolation makes Choquequirao an unforgettable experience for adventurous travelers.

Machu Picchu Experience

After completing the Choquequirao Trek, you will continue your journey toward Machu Picchu via Ollantaytambo.

Your experience includes a First-Class Vistadome Panoramic Train round trip between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes, offering a comfortable and scenic journey through the Sacred Valley and along the Urubamba River.
