Choquequirao, the "sister city" of Machu Picchu

5 day hike to the sister city
$850 per person with 2 people.


An extraordinary complex formed by nine architectural stone groupings consisting of hundreds of terraces, rooms and an extremely elaborate irrigation system. While still only 30% of the site has been cleared, archaeologists already view it as important as Machu Picchu - often called the "sister city". The trek to Choquequirao is long and tiring - an unforgettable adventure.

 

Hike to the Sister City
The five-day trek to Choquequirao is rated moderate and members should be in good physical condition. The expedition leaves from Cusco via the Abancay Road to the Cachora Village where the trek begins. The route follows trails with numerous spots of interest along the way. We traverse diverse landscapes, eco-systems, wildlife
and spectacular vistas along the way. We leave plenty of time to explore the mystery of this lost citadel before following a similar route back to Cusco.
