¡Learn more about Choquequirao!
Choquequirao is an Inca city that is 3,050 meters above sea level in the Cusco region of the province of La Convencion. The site has a structure and architecture very similar to the city of Kuelap of the Prechaca Chachapoyas culture, it is believed that when Pachacutec and his son Tupac Inca Yupanqui expanded the empire to the north they conquered a civilization and moved them to Choquequirao to have better control of the population, why it was a warrior town that was difficult to annex to the Inca empire. It has different areas such as: The agricultural terraces, the ceremonial sector, the house of the astronomer, the house of the Inca, etc. All these affected in different points of the mountain that makes it more interesting to walk and move this impressive place with the most spectacular views.
Choquequirao is believed to have been a city built with the purpose of controlling the invasion of its neighbors by the Chanka tribe at the beginning of the formation of the Inca empire in approximately 1380. Following the invasion of Francisco Pizarro and his army in 1535, death From Atahuallpa (Inca king) in Cajamarca, Manco Inca emerged as the new king of the empire after a bloody struggle in the current city of Cusco for the rule of the empire, the Inca army was defeated by the conquering army led by Francisco Pizarro. Then the family, army and survivors escaped into the jungle finding a refuge in this inhospitable place “Choquequirao-Vilcabamba”. Manco Inca and his children resisted for 60 years, frustrating each conquering excursion. In 1565 with the death of Manco Inca at the hands of soldiers of the Almagrista faction, the resistance lost its leader and culminated years later with the capture and execution in the current main square of the last heir of the Inca dynasty “Tupac Amaru “So I finish a part of the history in these places that you can relive walking through these wonderful places .
The price of an all-inclusive tour to Choquequirao can vary significantly depending on the tour operator, trip duration, and service level. On average, you can expect to pay between $380 and $580 USD per person for a 3-, 4-, or 5-day tour. These tours usually include everything: a professional guide, all meals, ground transportation, entrance fees, camping equipment, and support staff (such as muleteers and cooks). While it may seem expensive, keep in mind that Choquequirao is a remote destination, and logistical access is more complex than to other tourist sites. The great thing about this type of tour is that you don’t have to worry about anything—just enjoy the journey.
The hike to the Choquequirao archaeological site is not dangerous, but it does require caution. The route demands good physical condition and at least basic hiking experience, as it includes steep climbs, sharp descents, and narrow paths with loose stones—especially near the Apurímac Canyon. If done with a reliable agency, a good guide, and proper measures (like staying hydrated, walking at a steady pace, and not overexerting yourself), the trek is safe and highly rewarding. However, it’s best to avoid the rainy season (November to March), when the trail can become very slippery and more challenging.
Yes, it’s a physically demanding trek, but completely achievable with some preparation. The hike includes significant elevation changes: from Capuliyoc (the usual starting point), you descend nearly 1,500 meters (4,900 ft) to the Apurímac River, and then climb almost the same altitude to reach Marampata and finally Choquequirao. The challenge lies not just in the distance but in the constant ascents and descents. It’s not advisable to improvise this hike if you’re not used to mountain trekking. But if you’re well-prepared, equipped with the right gear, and open to enjoying the journey, the reward upon arrival is indescribable.
Yes—and it can be a wonderful family adventure! But let’s be realistic: it’s not suitable for all children. If your kids are at least 8 or 9 years old, used to long walks, and you’re willing to move at their pace, then this can be an unforgettable experience. Many operators offer family-friendly versions of the trek with longer days and extra rest periods. You can also hire horses to help with difficult sections or to carry the backpacks, which lightens the load considerably. Most importantly, the Choquequirao trek can become an educational and adventurous journey for everyone.
The “best tour” depends on your preferences. If you want the classic experience, the 4-day / 3-night tour from Capuliyoc is ideal. If you prefer a more relaxed pace and more time to explore the ruins, go for the 5-day version. And if you’re an experienced hiker in good shape, you might complete it in just 3 days / 2 nights. Some more adventurous travelers opt for the Choquequirao – Machu Picchu trek, connecting both Inca cities in 7 to 8 days. It’s demanding, but one of the most epic routes in Peru. Always look for tour operators with good reviews, certified guides, and a responsible approach to the environment and local communities. Sometimes, paying a bit more is worth it for a safe, well-organized, and authentic experience.
Choquequirao is located in the Cusco region, in the province of La Convención, perched on the slopes of the Apurímac River canyon, at an altitude of about 3,000 meters (9,840 feet). It lies approximately 150 km (93 miles) west of Cusco, but there is no direct road leading to the site. Visiting requires a multi-day trek, which has helped preserve its remote and uncrowded character. This isolation is part of what makes Choquequirao so special—it’s one of the few Inca sites you can still explore almost in solitude.
The traditional trek to Choquequirao takes 4 days (round trip) from Capuliyoc. The basic itinerary looks like this:
- Day 1: Capuliyoc – Playa Rosalina – Marampata
- Day 2: Marampata – Choquequirao – Marampata
- Day 3: Marampata – Playa Rosalina – Chiquisca
- Day 4: Chiquisca – Capuliyoc – regreso a Cusco
If you prefer a slower pace, there are 5- or even 6-day versions. There are also longer routes, like the aforementioned Choquequirao – Machu Picchu trek, which takes 7 to 8 days.
Yes, it’s possible to go on your own, but it’s not always recommended. Technically, you don’t need a guide or special permit to enter—just pay the entrance fee (about 60 soles). However, consider the following:
- The route is not well signposted like other popular trails.
- Transport, food, and camping logistics can be tricky if you’re unfamiliar with the area.
- There is no cell signal on most of the route.
- Carrying all necessary gear (tent, food, cooking supplies, etc.) makes the journey much heavier.
If you have experience with self-supported trekking, know navigation techniques, and speak Spanish, you can do it. But if it’s your first time or you’re traveling with children, it’s highly advisable to go with a guided tour.
