When possible, it’s highly recommended hiking the trail, 58km, over 5 days; so that you will have the opportunity to spend a full day (trek day 3) in the Choquequirao ruins.
The Incan citadel is situated in the vast landscape of the Vilcabamba Range; above the Apurimac River Canyon. As a result, thick forest has covered this Inca site for many years and has re-discovered the citadel in relatively recent times.
Choquequirao was the dwelling of the last rebel Incas of Vilcabamba and similar to Machu Picchu; and it is widely believed that the Spanish never discovered this last remaining fortress. This is a challenging trek traversing different ecosystems, and it’s possible to include Machu Picchu as part of the trek route.
The 4-day trek is a long slow descent into the Apurimac valley; followed by a relatively steep climb on day 2 (then tracking out the same way you entered). Once through the challenging parts of this route, you’ll get to experience one of the best Inca Trail & Machu Picchu alternatives in the surrounding Andes of Cusco. The relative solitude of the Choquequirao trek makes this a very unique and excellent alternative.
There are amazing views of the Vilcabamba Range and the trail descends deep into the Apurimac Canyon.

The Ausangate region is a great place; I found everything I was looking for. I trekked to the mirador of Condors (4990m) & summited Nevado Qampa (5500m), overall, a very good expedition.
James did an amazing job. Due to bad weather conditions we had to change to a different route and he met all my needs. The Choquequirao Trek was beautiful, my guide was fit, knowledgeable and always in a good mood. The equipment was new and very suitable for the hike. I was able to get a special diet during the hike and the food tasted great. The cook and the rider worked very hard! I thank James for this five-star experience in the Andes!
Two Excellent Treks! Unu Raymi Expeditions organized two excellent treks for us – everything exceeded our expectations, including the food!
