For adventurers seeking untouched landscapes, we present the Ultimate Choquequirao Trek. This expedition traverses the vibrant cloud forests and snowcapped peaks of the Andes in the Choquekiraw region. Whereas Machu Picchu hosts approximately 5000 tourists each day, Choquequirao often welcomes less than twelve, offering an unparalleled peaceful retreat. Dubbed the ‘Second Machu Picchu’, Choquekiraw is home to another stunning Incan city, carved entirely from stone and nestled in an unfathomable location overlooking one of Peru’s deepest gorges. Experience the tranquil majesty of this location before the secret gets out: Choquequirao is predicted to be one of Peru’s upcoming top tourist spots.
