When most people think of trekking in Peru, Machu Picchu often comes to mind. However, if you’re seeking an adventure that combines breathtaking natural beauty, rich Inca history, and a commitment to sustainability, the Choquequirao Trek is the perfect choice. Known as the “Cradle of Gold,” Choquequirao offers a unique and less crowded alternative to its more famous sister site, Machu Picchu.
At TOUR IN PERU, we believe in showcasing the wonders of Choquequirao while preserving and protecting this archaeological treasure for future generations. Here’s why our sustainable Choquequirao Trek is the ideal experience for eco-conscious travelers:
