General description

Choquequirao to Machu Picchu Expedition

The Choquequirao to Machu Picchu route is considered one of the most spectacular trekking expeditions in South America. This tour connects two of the most important archaeological complexes of the Inca legacy through a demanding journey that crosses mountains, canyons, cloud forests and remote landscapes. While thousands of travelers visit Machu Picchu every day, very few have the opportunity to travel the complete route that connects both Inca cities. This expedition represents an exclusive experience for adventurers looking for something deeper than a conventional tour. The adventure begins on the trails that lead to Choquequirao, an archaeological city that many consider as impressive as Machu Picchu. Its enormous agricultural terraces, ceremonial plazas and monumental structures remain surrounded by mountains practically intact. After exploring Choquequirao, the expedition continues through remote sectors of the Andes where human presence is minimal. Travelers travel through mountain passes, hidden valleys and historic paths used for centuries. The journey offers enormous landscape diversity. From the deep canyons of the Apurimac to the cloud forests near Machu Picchu, each day presents completely different scenarios. One of the most impressive aspects of this expedition is the constant feeling of isolation and exploration. Many sections of the route remain far from traditional tourist routes. The final arrival at Machu Picchu constitutes the perfect closure for an epic adventure. After several days traveling along ancient Inca roads, entering the citadel takes on a much deeper meaning for those who have completed the journey.
