Description
Hike to the Last Refuge of the Incas.
How does it sound to embark on an adventure to a place as incredible as Machu Picchu, but with fewer tourists? Our Classic Choquequirao Trek is just that. Join us on this epic journey to one of the most amazing Inca complexes in existence.
The name Choquequirao means “Cradle of Gold” in the Quechua language. This spectacular archaeological site sits above the raging Apurimac River and is surrounded by towering glacial peaks. Very few tourists visit it because it is not as well known as Machu Picchu
But it is 3 times bigger! It is said to have been one of the last refuges of the Incas who tried to resist the Spanish invasion. Choquequirao was later abandoned, and the dense vegetation of the cloud forest ended up covering it and hiding it from civilization.
