Choquequirao to Machu Picchu Trek
10 DAYS Starting from $4,390 per person
Experience three of the Incas’ crowning achievements on this unforgettable 10-day Choquequirao to Machu Picchu adventure. First immerse yourself in the Incan and colonial heritage of captivating Cusco, before the main event: a 4-day trek to the vast, mythical ruins of Choquequirao. Perched atop a mountaintop in the remote and little-visited Vilcabamba Range, it’s a place very few tourists ever reach. Finally, top it all off with a visit to the fabled Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas.
