4 Days |

3 Nigths

General description

The Choquequirao Trek is a great alternative to the Inca Trail. Escape the crowds and enjoy 4 days and 3 nights of adventure, ancient ruins and spectacular scenery. You’ll plunge deep into the Apurimac valley and then climb back up again to reach the impressive Choquequirao ruins, making this 4 day Choquequirao tour one of the best treks in Peru.

Detailed Itinerary

Day 01: Cusco – Capuliyoc – Chiquisqa - Santa Rosa.

It’s an early start on the first day of the classic 4 day Choquequirao trek: after picking you up from your hotel early in the morning, we head for Capuliyoc, leaving the hustle and bustle of Cusco behind. After about 4 hours until we arrive at Capuliyoc (2970m / 9744ft) where we’ll have our first breathtaking views of the Apurimac Valley below, as well as the impressive Padrayoc and Huayna Cachora peaks.

We’ll meet our (muleteers) here and after a short 15 minute walk, we’ll stop to have our lunch at the Capuliyoc lookout point. Refueled and refreshed, we’re ready to start the steep 4 hour descent into the Apurimac Canyon until we reach Chiquisca (1950m / 6397ft), with incredible drop-offs at our sides.
After another hour of hiking, we reach the roaring Apurimac River (1520m / 4986ft)

where we’ll begin the climb to the Santa Rosa campsite (2095m / 6873ft). This is a tough, 2-hour climb but you’ll be thankful for it the next day! This campsite on day one of our Choquequirao tour is further along the trail than the most popular camp, making for a more restful evening where you can soak up the stars. This day is flexible and so the route you trek might not correspond exactly to the route described here. Walking times depend on the time of departure and on the nature of the group. The guide may change lunch spots and campsites, depending on the progress of the group.

Please take note that there might be biting insects on the trail, thus repellent will be needed! It can get very hot on the trail (not just in the canyon!), going up to 30- 35oC (86oF – 95oF). It can get as hot as 40oC (104oF) in the canyon.
• Total Walking Distance: 12 km
• Total Walking Time: 6-7h

• Minimum Altitude: 1520m (4986 ft) / Maximum Altitude: 2970m (9744 ft)
• Altitude of camp: 2095m (6973 ft)
• Approx. night temperature: 8°C

Day 02: Santa Rosa – Marampata – Choquequiaro ruins – Marampata.

It’s another early start today as we aim to get the best out of day 2 of our Choquequirao tour. After an early breakfast at around 5:30am, we head out at 6am and continue steeply upwards for 3 hours until we reach Marampata. Once we get going again after our well-deserved break at Marampata (2940m /
9646 ft), we will have our first glimpses of spectacular Choquequirao. From this point, it’s another 2 hours of hiking up gentle, undulating terrain until we reach the ruins, a welcome respite compared to what we’ve just accomplished!

Arriving at the ruins, we can enjoy a picnic lunch on the grounds and have a well- deserved break. After lunch we will start to explore the ruins (3050m / 10,007 ft).

Only about 30% of the Inca remains at Choquequirao have yet been excavated, the rest remains shrouded in mystery. As we explore, we keep our fingers crossed for the chance to see some condors!
After about 3 hours touring the site – including the religious sector and central part
of the ruins – we start our two-hour hike back to the campsite of Marampata. This
is a very long but rewarding day as we aim to maximize our time in Choquequirao.
• Total Walking Distance: 16.2 km
• Total Walking Time: 7-8h
• Minimum Altitude: 2095m (6873 ft) / Maximum Altitude: 3050m (10,007 ft)
• Altitude of camp: 2940m (9646 ft)
• Approx. night temperature: 5°C

Day 03: Marampata – Santa Rosa – Chiquisqa.

Today we will leave the beautiful Marampata campsite and start our descent towards the Apurimac River and the so-called Rosalina Beach (1520 m/4986 ft). From there we will continue hiking upwards until we reach our campsite of Chiquisqa (1950 m / 6397 ft). If you have a good pace we may camp instead at Cocamasana (2450m / 8038ft).
• Total Walking Distance: 8.9km (12.3km if camping at Cocamasana)
• Total Walking Time: 4-5h (6-7h if camping at Cocamasana)
• Minimum Altitude: 1520m (4986 ft) / Maximum Altitude: 2940m (9646 ft)

• Altitude of camp: 1950m (6397 ft) (or 2450m (8038 ft), if camping at
Cocamasana)
• Approx. night temperature: 5°C

Day 04: Chiquisqa – Capuliyoc – Cusco

This morning, we finish our Choquequirao trek with a 3 to 4-hour climb upwards to Capuliyoc. When we reach our destination, we’re once again rewarded with spectacular views. Our car will be waiting here to pick us up to start the 4.5-hour drive back to Cusco. On the way we have the option of visiting Saywite (3500m / 11,483 ft) which is a pretty archaeological site located in the district of Curahuasi. It’s an Incan complex that probably was built in the 16th century. Saywite occupies an area of around 2 hectares which houses important examples of Inca stone art, as well as religious-ritualistic spaces.
On the other hand, if all we want to do is relax, we can instead visit the Cconoc hot springs (1780m / 5840 ft). Its waters reach temperatures of 26°C and 35°C with a pH of 6.9, and are surrounded by carob trees, reed beds and cactus. It’s a wonderful place to relax.

The medicinal properties of the thermal baths and their pleasant temperatures offer the perfect place to rest our muscles and feet after this amazing 4-day Choquequirao hike. After a quick dip, we can enjoy lunch surrounded by the beautiful views of the Apurimac River valley.

Finally, we hop in our private car to continue the journey back to the City of Cusco, where we will be arrive around 6pm.

Total Walking Distance: 7km (or 3.6km, if you camped at Cocamasana on D3)
Total Walking Time: 3-4h (or 2h, if you camped at Cocamasana on D3)
Minimum Altitude: 1950m (6397 ft) / Maximum Altitude: 2970m (9744 ft)

Frequently Asked Questions:

How difficult is Choquequirao?

We often get asked about the Choquequirao trek difficulty and it’s important to be realistic about what to expect. In comparison with other treks in the Cusco region, the Choquequirao tour is not what we’d describe as a high altitude trek. The highest point of the whole route is the Choquequirao ruins themselves, at 3050m (10,007 ft).
That said, this is by far one of the most challenging treks in the region as you descend 1500m the first day, climb over 1500m on the second day, and then after reaching the ruins, turn around and do it all over again on days 3 and 4! It should also be remembered that while this is not “high” by Cusco Standards, the starting point at Cachora and the ruins of Choquequirao are still high altitude. Remember all treks in the Cusco region are difficult for most people due to the high altitude and extremely steep mountains.

What fitness or training do you recommend?
Even the fittest person will find the hike to Choquequirao a test! Everyone who plans to tour Choquequirao should embark on a training plan. We do have a many older people who successfully complete this trek, but they are extremely fit and well prepared. Without doubt, anyone who is not fit should train in consultation with a medical and fitness professional. What this will entail depends on each person and their own abilities. Remember the difficulty of the Choquequirao trek is the steepness of the trail.

In short, the better your fitness, the easier and more rewarding the trek will be. How can I prepare myself for the altitude, and avoid altitude sickness?
There is one simple and easy way to prepare yourself for the high altitude around the Cusco area: Spend at least 3 nights at high altitude, like Cusco city, Lake Titicaca or the Sacred Valley. As Choquequirao is not super high altitude, most people can get away with just 2 nights’ acclimatisation prior to heading out on the trek. Not only is there so much to do and see around Cusco, but especially if you are able to get out and do several hours’ hiking, it will get your body prepared for the challenge facing it!

Also, be kind to your body! Get lots of rest upon arrival at Cusco, stay away from alcohol, and eat healthily. This will help your body to be as prepared as it can be for the difficulty of the Choquequirao trek.

What is the best time of year to do the 4 day Choquequirao trek?
The Choquequirao trekking tour is best done in the dry winter months in the Andes, from May to August. During this time, there is little rain but temperatures are low. Cold nighttime temperatures are not as much of a problem on this trek as they are on other, higher altitude treks, but you should be prepared for a cold night at the ruins.

December through March is the rainy season in Peru and we do not operate any of our Choquequirao tours during this time. Given the steep sides of the Apurimac canyon, the heavy rainfall can loosen the mountainsides and there is a high risk of landslides. This has resulted in death and injury of tourist groups in the past and for this reason we won’t trek in the wet season.

The shoulder seasons for trekking Choquequirao are the months of April,

September, October and November. Trekking during these months is weather- dependent. For example, April can still be very slippery and wet if it was a particularly wet rainy season; by the same token November can be hazardous if heavy rains come early. In general September and October should be ok, though with some rain encountered.

What kind of food and accommodation can we expect on the Choquequirao trek?
The Classic Choquequirao trek (4 days) includes 3 nights of camping. You are accompanied by a trained field team who set up our tents, lay out the therma rest matrasses and boil water for you to wash your hands and face. Having good quality, well maintained equipment that keeps out the rain and mosquitos is important to having an enjoyable trek experience!

Also on your Choquequirao tour will be a chef and at least one assistant. It’s quite fascinating to see how our chefs whip up nutritious quality meals on the trail! Our chefs receive annual training in order to offer you some really impressive meals. This is not basic trail food, but fully catered for trekking.
We can cater for all types of dietary requests with adequate preparation and clear communication. We receive a lot of vegetarian guests and our cooks have become quite adept at preparing vegetarian and vegan options!

What permits are required?

There are no pre-purchased permits required. However, you are required to have an entry ticket to Choquequirao ruins, which we have included in our Choquequirao trek cost.

What do you carry during the trek?
Cachi Life Peru are organized so that all you carry on the Choquequirao tour is a light day pack. In your day pack, you should carry things like your water bottle, some extra layers, camera, sun hat, beanie, sunscreen and insect repellent. Water is very important on the trek. You should start the day with 2L; you will have a chance to refill at lunchtime, and again in the evening. If you are the type of person that gets thirsty, start the day with 3L! We also provide an ample range of snacks which will fill up the average person – if you have hollow legs, you might need to bring some of your own!

At your briefing, you will be supplied with a duffel bag that you can pack with up to 8kg (17 lbs). All of the camping equipment needed on the trek is also carried by mules.

Is the 4 day choquequirao trek right for me?
In order to answer whether this trek is right for you, ask yourself the following questions:

• Do I have time to acclimatize well? – While not at the highest altitude
around Cusco, this is still a high altitude trek, with the campsite on Day 2 located at 2900m (9514 ft), so you must be well acclimatized before beginning
the trek. For most people 2 days acclimatisation should be sufficient, but 3 days or more would be better.
• Am I prepared to climb and descend steeply – Each day of the Choquequirao trek involves approximately 1500m (4921 ft) of descent or ascent. This is a very steep trek and requires a lot of stamina and mental fortitude, not to mention fitness!
• Am I looking for solitude on the trail and a unique experience? – If so, Choquequirao is a reasonable option for you. It’s not the quietest trek in the
region, or the busiest. If you are looking forward to meeting fellow trekkers on the trail or at campsites and make new friends, you might prefer a more
popular trek such as Salkantay or the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
• Am I most interested in stunning mountain landscapes and Andean wildlife? – The Choquequirao tour has some truly incredible mountain
landscapes, and in the middle there are even snow-capped peaks all around. There is not a lot of Andean wildlife, but you do have the chance of seeing the Andean condor flying on the thermals out from the Choquequirao ruins!

• Am I looking for a trek that includes Machu Picchu? – The 4 day Choquequirao tour does not include Machu Picchu. You can add a Machu
Picchu Extension to your itinerary.
• Is visiting Incan Ruins important to me? – This is a fantastic route for the Inca enthusiast – Choquequirao is said to be larger than Machu Picchu itself
with new discoveries being made all the time. This is most definitely a good trek if you want to learn more about the Incas.
• Am I interested in learning about contemporary Andean culture? – If so, then one of our Lares treks might be a better option.

 Verified Machu Picchu and sacred valley
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with David from the very beginning of planning our trip. As three ladies traveling together we couldn’t have had any smoother and safer experience. He was there for us throughout the entire process, spending countless hours helping us plan full 5 days, answering all our questions, and responding to our WhatsApp messages within minutes. His communication was truly amazing, and we always felt that we were in great hands. We visited Pisac, Chinchero ruins, Maras and Moray, Ollantaytambo ruins, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain. When we arrived, David was waiting for us at the airport. He even arranged for someone to help us with our luggage at the Cusco airport, drove us around, and gave us invaluable tips on how to adjust to the high altitude. He was always attentive, alert to our needs, and making sure we were comfortable. David also took us to authentic local places where we could experience things like traditional alpaca weaving, which made the trip feel much more genuine and special. Everything went exactly as planned. He also brought a driver along, which made getting around much smoother and easier. Our Machu Picchu experience, including Circuits 3D and 1B, was unforgettable. There were three of us, and one of us was having difficulty with the mountain climbs. David stayed right behind her throughout the journey, making sure she was safe and supported every step of the way. His care and patience really stood out. And as if being our guide and driver wasn't enough, David also became our personal cameraman! 😊 He was constantly directing us and helping us get the best photos and memories from our trip. On our last day, he took us to Rainbow Mountain and was once again incredibly patient and accommodating to our needs. Throughout the entire trip, David went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. We are so grateful for everything he did for us and would highly recommend David to anyone planning a trip to Peru. If you want someone who is knowledgeable, caring, responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making your trip special, David is your person! Thank you, David, for helping make our trip so memorable!

 Verified Incredible Time with Frank!
Frank was a fantastic guide, we are so happy we had him with us! He understood the pace that was best for our fitness level, and he would take breaks at good moments to teach us about local people, plants, animals, history, and culture, which we felt was all really interesting. We learned so much about Machu Picchu, the Incas, and each archaeological site, and we genuinely enjoyed listening to him. It felt like traveling with a friend, he was so nice and had a great attitude, we were always laughing together. He also had great English, we were able to laugh together at our joke that a sitting chinchilla we saw was "chinchilling." We were also really happy to support Cachi Life which is a Peruvian owned company. We did the 2-day trek, and we appreciated the amount of care put into each step. The hotel that was included in our tour package was very quiet, the bed comfortable, the shower hot, with good breakfast choices as well. Frank also took great photos of us, with good framing and angles, and he never rushed us. He was so knowledgeable and friendly that we would love to return someday and trek with him and Cachi Life again!

 Verified An Exceptional Experience!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Cachi Life during our time in Peru, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! We had created our own bespoke itinerary for our trip but we wanted a knowledgeable guide to bring the history to life when visiting the incredible ruins around Cusco and during our two days in Machu Picchu. After reading so many wonderful reviews from other travellers, we decided to use Cachi Life and we are so glad we did. We also used them for transportation throughout the Sacred Valley including journeys from Cusco to Pisac and Ollantaytambo as well as visits to Maras and Moray. From the very beginning, everything was handled with such warmth, professionalism and care. David came to meet us at our Airbnb the day before our tour to personally brief us on the schedule for the coming days. This was such a thoughtful touch and gave us a great sense of confidence that everything was organised and that we were in very good hands. Over the following days, we had the pleasure of spending time with David exploring the remarkable archaeological sites around Cusco, including Sacsayhuamán, Q’enko, Tambomachay and Puka Pukara, as well as experiencing the incredible Machu Picchu. David was an exceptional guide. His knowledge of Peruvian and Inca history was impressive, but what really stood out was his passion and enthusiasm. It was very clear that this was far more than just a job for him. He genuinely loves the history, culture and heritage of Peru and that passion came through in every story and explanation. He had a wonderful ability to bring the ancient sites to life, helping us understand not just what we were looking at, but the people, culture and history behind them. We learnt so much from David and having him with us made the experience of visiting these extraordinary places even more meaningful and memorable. We also had the pleasure of having Frank (David’s brother) drive us from Cusco through the Sacred Valley to Pisac and Ollantaytambo. Although we had not booked a guide for this particular day, Frank was incredibly generous with his knowledge and shared lots of interesting information about the places we passed along the way. It was very much appreciated and added another wonderful dimension to our journey. Both David and Frank were friendly, reliable, thoughtful and genuinely lovely people to spend time with. Their warmth and hospitality really captured what we had hoped to experience in Peru. We never felt like just another tourist booking. They took a genuine interest in making sure we had a fantastic experience and were always happy to help. Thank you so much, David and Frank, for making our time in Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu so special. Your knowledge, enthusiasm, kindness and hospitality made a lasting impression on us, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Cachi Life to anyone planning a trip to Peru.

Spending two days in the Sacred Valley with David of Cachi Life has incredibly turned into positive our vacation in Peru. In this country you are pretty much jumping from one operator to another and we didn’t have good experience until we find Cachi. David has a natural passion and a great knowledge of the story of this country and his people, plus is also very friendly and curious by nature. If we ever come back to Peru I would avoid passing through internet and I will get in touch directly with Cachi to organize all my trip. Thank you David for guiding us and sharing your passion and Thank you Oscar for demonstrating that driving is an important part of the trip. Unforgettable.

David is such a great tour guide and owner. He was always very communicative, accommodating, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. He treated my family and me with the utmost respect and kindness. His knowledge of Machu Picchu is excellent and we learned so much from him. He took care of us the minute we set foot in the Cusco region, including having a driver pick us up and take us to and from the train station in Ollantaytambo. He met us with us at our vacation rental the evening prior to go over everything with us. He even stopped at the store to buy us tea and sugar. He took care of everything for us and all we had to do was pay and show up. You will not find better service to see Machu Picchu than Cachi Life Perú.

 Verified Incredible trip, outstanding on every level
David (Cachi Life) was recommended by friends when I decided to take a solo trip to Peru. I'm a woman in my mid-60's, fairly physically fit, who wanted to experience Peru's scenery, history, culture, and people. David helped to customize my 11-day trip to include exactly what I wanted (Manu/Amazon rainforest, Inca Trail hike to Machu Piccu, various day tours out of Cusco, etc.) Lodging and transportation arrangements everywhere were clearly arranged and communicated efficiently. Upon arrival he met me at the airport and drove me back at the end of the trip. The entire time David was always quickly responsive and communication was outstanding. This trip was utterly incredible (also exhausting!) in every way. Truly stellar. I will carry the experience with me always. I highly recommend David/Cachi Life to anyone considering a trip to this magnificent country. You will be in very good hands.
