Perched above the Apur\u00edmac Canyon and surrounded by the Vilcabamba mountain range, this archaeological site is considered the \u201cspiritual sister\u201d of Machu Picchu for its architecture and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This 4-day route is ideal for adventure lovers seeking a challenging trek with pure nature, epic mountain views, and direct contact with Inca history. Few travelers make it here, which makes the Choquequirao trek a mystical, authentic experience \u2014 far from the crowds. Recent improvements in accessibility are making this destination more reachable for true explorers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Itinerary Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Day 1:<\/strong> Cusco \u2013 Cachora \u2013 Capuliyoc \u2013 Chiquisqa (camp)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Day 2:<\/strong> Chiquisqa \u2013 Rosalina \u2013 Sunchupata (camp)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Day 3:<\/strong> Sunchupata \u2013 Choquequirao \u2013 Chiquisqa (camp)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Day 4:<\/strong> Chiquisqa \u2013 Capuliyoc \u2013 Cusco (return)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Detailed Itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 \u2013 Cusco \u2192 Cachora \u2192 Capuliyoc \u2192 Chiquisqa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Early hotel pick-up to head to Cachora, passing through Tarawasi, Curahuasi, and the Cunyac Bridge.
