Trekking Choquequirao

04 D - 03 N

Choquequirao: Considered by many tourists who visited it as the other Machu Picchu and sometimes many tourists dare to say it is better than Machu Picchu. The best thing about this archaeological center is that you can only get there by walking, because there are no railways or roads that can take you to or near Choquequirao, so it is full trekking, many tourists consider this trip as a pilgrimage, an escape from the routine, a challenge of their own, escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and not being very well known sometimes the route is empty (without tourists) and at other times one can run into some tourists and these are few . Of course, sometimes the route can be full of tourists (nationals, school promotions and foreign tourists). But almost all the year the route is with few tourists.
