Choquequirao 5 days / 4 nights: $295
Choquequirao is another "lost city of the Incas" but is seldom visited. It's located high on a ridge spur almost 1500 m. above the Apurimac River. It is surrounded by beautiful snow capped mountains such as Choqetacarpo, Yanama, Padreyoc, Huanipaca, Surusuru, and Sarasara. Located 30 km from Cachorra village, Choquequirao may have been the place where the last Inca, Tupac Amaru, was raised among Incan Priestesses. It was a place of high regard, as indicated by the characteristics of the architectural style. The remoteness and inaccessibility have discouraged visitors until a footbridge was constructed on the way to Choquequirao over the Apurimac River.
[Day 1]: Rosalinas- Around 6:00 AM we leave Cusco and drive towards Cachora village (2850 m) for about 4 hours where we will meet our horsemen and arrange our equipment on mules. We will walk on a flat trail for about 2 hours and arrive at Capuliyoc pass (2880 m / 9590 ft) from where we will first view the beautiful Choquequirao from a far, as well as the Apurimac valley stretching below and the snow capped peaks. Continuing we descend to Coca Masana (2330 m). After 4 hours of walking we arrive at Playa Rosalina (1550 m / 5162 ft) where we will camp. [Day 2]: Choquequirao- We start ascending to Santa Rosa (2100 m) to have a sugar cane Chicha. After that we continue towards the Choquequirao camp site (at 3050 m / 10157 ft) while passing by Marampata. This day is considered the hardest. Along the way we can observe many orchids and wild flowers as well as many birds. After 8 hours of walking we will arrive and camp close to the Inca city. [Day 3]: Choquequirao - We will explore the marvelous archaeological site of Choquequirao with our Guide while learning about the history and importance of the site. We will camp at this magical city of the Incas and rest and relax for the night..
