Why we love it?

This 4-day hiking tour from Cusco takes you through stunning Andean landscapes along a historic stone pathway, leading to the Choquequirao ruins, an ancient Inca city that predates Machu Picchu and was explored by Hiram Bingham. The trek includes stops at Cachora, the Capuliyoc pass, Santa Rosa, Marampata, and Cocamasana, allowing you to experience a variety of high-altitude environments and lesser-known Inca sites. With a professional bilingual guide, meals provided, and comfortable dining arrangements, this tour suits travelers interested in archaeology, history, and outdoor adventure who want to explore a remote and partially restored archaeological site. The itinerary combines cultural insight with physical challenge, offering a deeper look at Peru’s Inca heritage beyond the more frequented Machu Picchu.
