Overview

How to get to Choquequirao trek

To start the trek to Choquequirao, the last refuge of the Incas, we leave early in the morning in a private transport from Cusco, heading to the district of San Pedro de Cachora. We take the main road from Cusco to Abancay, with a detour in Ramal, where we take a dirt road for 16 km to the village of Cachora, while we are accompanied by a beautiful panorama of landscapes.

San Pedro de Cachora has a varied climate, characterized by a rainy season from November to March and a clear and dry season from April to October. Cachora is located at 2903m above sea level, with breathtaking views of the landscape, highlighting the nearby snow-capped peak “Padreyoc”.

The views are very inspiring and impressive as we travel through an amazing variety of ecological zones, from the cultivated valleys of the Andes, down through an arid and hot canyon with Capoc, Cactus and Agave trees, and up through a region of lush rainforest, under the towering snow-capped peaks of the Vilcabamba mountain range.

From the town of Chiquisqa, the road to Choquequirao descends steeply to the bottom of the Apurimac canyon at 1500m, where Playa Rosalina is located. From there we begin our ascent to the Inca city.

We arrive at Playa Rosalina at 1550m, 19km from Cachora with its banks bathed by the torrential Apurimac River. A suspension bridge crosses to the other side, where the trail continues its perpetual ascent.

The small villages we pass through are Santa Rosa, where we can enjoy “Cambrai”, a delicious marinated drink made from sugar cane, and then on to Marapata, near Choquequirao. From there we walk approximately one hour and 30 minutes to our campsite in Choquequirao, where we will spend the night.
