Overview

If treks are part of your lifestyle, this one is especially for you. Choquequirao was one of the last Inca refuges because it is located in the middle of a canyon with a depth of more than 2,000 meters and the Vilcabamba mountain range with its snow-capped peaks 5,000 meters high.
This Tour to Choquequirao is one of the most exciting challenges, which is why you must have special preparation before doing it, the reward at the end of the journey will be the enormous satisfaction of having done it in 3 intense days of walking.
