Choquequirao 4 Days / 3 Nights
DAY 1: CUSCO – CAPULIYOQ – CHIQUISCA – MARAMPATA
The Choquequirao trek begins at 3 a.m. with the pickup of group members from their various hotels or hostels.
Once everyone has been picked up, we will travel to Capuliyoc (approximately 4 hours), where you can have breakfast. After breakfast, we will begin the adventure.
On the way from Capuliyoq to Chiquisca, you can enjoy the amazing view of the Apurímac Canyon and the snow-capped Padrelloc mountain. For three hours, the trail descends to Chiquisca, where we will have lunch and a short rest. For another hour, the trail continues to descend to the Apurímac River, which we will cross via a bridge. After the bridge, the trail climbs all the way to Marampata (approximately 5 hours). This section will be done with stops in Santa Rosa Alta and Santa Rosa Baja. You will also have the option of riding horses uphill (additional cost). Once in Marampata, you will have dinner and time to chat with the group and your guide.
DAY 2: MARAMPATA – CHOQUEQUIRAO – MARAMPATA
Day 2 starts very early, beginning the hike at 5 a.m. with some snacks that will be provided before setting off. The stretch from Marampata to Choquequirao is 4 km (approx. 2 hours). Once at the archaeological site of Choquequirao, you will have a guided tour with the guide and free time to explore, as well as lunch on the esplanade. All this until 4:00 p.m., when you will resume the march back to Marampata (camping area). Once at the campsite, you will have dinner and time to chat with the rest of the group.
DAY 3: MARAMPATA – CHOQUEQUIRAO – MARAMPATA – CAPULIYOQ
On the third day after breakfast, we begin the hike to Chiquisca, with a three-hour descent and one-hour ascent, crossing the Apurímac River again and continuing the hike up to Chiquisca. In Chiquisca, you will have lunch and time to rest. After lunch and a break, we will resume the hike to Capuliyoq, which takes approximately three hours and is mostly uphill. On this uphill section, you will also have the option of renting horses to make the ascent to Capuliyoc.
In Capuliyoq, after settling into the camping area or freshening up, the last dinner will be served, with time to chat about the experience and also to say goodbye to the staff who accompanied you during the route (cook, mule driver).
DAY 4: CAPULIYOQ – CUSCO
The last day begins with breakfast, this time not as early as usual on the route,
followed by a suggestion from the guide to tourists to make the journey from Capuliyoq to the village of Cachora (optional), which takes an average of two hours.
