   and snowy Padreyoc before we begin our adventure. We will see Choquequirao in the distance, much of the way to go and the impressive Apurimac Canyon.

Day 2: CHIKISCA - APURIMAC RIVER - SANTA ROSA - MARAMPATA

1. Canon Del Apurimac

   On our second day, we will start with an early breakfast at camp.
   After breakfast, we will continue descending for about an hour to the Apurimac River in a place called Playa Rosalina. Crossing the river, we will begin the ascent to Santa Rosa, which will last approximately two hours. This part of the hike requires significant physical effort, as we will be climbing while we have some shade.
2. 5h
   Upon arrival in Santa Rosa, we will take a short break before continuing to climb for another two hours to reach Marampata, where we have a well-deserved lunch. We will have the afternoon free to relax after ascending 1,500 meters, quite a challenge! Here we will explore Marampata and learn about agriculture and the traditional Quechua lifestyle. In the evening, we will enjoy a comforting dinner and then rest in cabins at 2,970 meters altitude. We will have cold showers and shared bathrooms.

Day 3: MARAMPATA - CHOQUEQUIRAO - SANTA ROSA OR CHIKISKA

1. Choquequirao Wasi
   2h · Admission ticket included
   The city in the skies, Choquequirao! A day of exploration and discovery awaits.
   After a copious breakfast before dawn, we will leave for this ancient Inca citadel.
   A walk of one and a half hours (about 4.5 km) will lead us to this impressive archaeological site. We will spend the day exploring its highlights:
   the flame terraces, the central square (3,068 m), the Hanan sector (3,136 m), and much more.
   We will also see some unexcavated remains still covered by vegetation. Here we will enjoy a country lunch with a 360o view that mixes culture and nature.
2. 3h
   After exploring the remarkable ruins of Choquequirao, we will begin our journey back along a rocky path with some challenging slopes towards
   Marampata, where the mountainous terrain offers us panoramic views once again.
3. 2h · Admission ticket included
   From
   Marampata, we will descend along a similarly rocky path, with a steep slope, towards Santa Rosa, where lush nature and tranquility reward us after the day’s effort.

   On this last day, we will enjoy a delicious breakfast before continuing our descent down a winding and rocky road to the Apurimac River.

2. 3h
   Along the way, we will appreciate the beauty of the forests at different altitudes, accompanied by immense views of the mountains, gradually reaching the viewpoint of Capuliyoc. Here, we will have a broad perspective of the entire route we have travelled over the last four
   days, a memory etched in our minds, with spirits full and bodies exhausted, but deeply rewarded by the experiences of the journey. In Capuliyoc, we will enjoy a well-deserved lunch and rest, surrounded by the magnificent Apurimac Canyon and the imposing mountains.
