Choquequirao to Machu Picchu Trek

Choquequirao to Machu Picchu Trek

This is the only trek that combines two of the most scenic hikes Choqueaquirao and Salkantay and two of the most important Inca towns: Choquequirao and Machu Picchu! Both Inca towns are perched on top of a mountain and they were made of the finest stonework.Machu Picchu receives lots of tourists every day whereas Choquequirao receives just a few visitors due to its remote location and strenous hike. Although, it is definitely worth hiking as it offers not only striking views of the scenic landscape and enigmatic Inca site of Choquequirao, but also a chance to see Condors soaring silently way above the mountains! This unique trek climbs to high passes with striking views of snow-topped mountains and deep canyons and passes through remote Andean villages where you will learn about their daily life activities.The jagged high mountains of more than 5000mt tower around you  as you hike through the trail and the ghastly rapids of  Apurimac river is heard eroding the canyon as you head down to the Apurimac river and when you arrive on the bridge there is a sensation of the river trembling the earth. The  lush high jungle areas offer abundant flora and fauna. On the last day, you will enjoy the guided tour of the enigmatic Inca town of Machu Picchu and  explore by yourself afterwards.

The park covers an area of 1,810 hectares.Choquequirao was constructed probably between the second part of the 15th century and the first decades of the 16th century by the time Incas started to conquer new territories in the Antisuyo region (located northwest of Cusco in high Andes inhabited by so called “Antis” – a collective name for the many varied ethnic groups living in this area). Choquequirao is considered as one of the last bastion and refugee of the Incas, who abandoned Cusco in 1535 following order of Inca ruler Manco Inca to regroup as Cusco was besieged by Spaniards. Although, there were a couple of people who visited and wrote about Choquequirao trek to machu picchu, this Inca site had not received a big attention until American historian Hiram Bingham along with the topographer Clarence visited and described the place in 1909!.

Machu Picchu is both, the best and the least known site of the Incas as it is not mentioned in any Spanish conquistador´s chronicle so that contemporary archaeologists can not do anything more than just speculate on its functions. Local Quechuan farmers had known about Machu Picchu for centuries before an 11-year-old boy showed the American historian Hiram Bingham (who was in a search of Vilcabamba) this site on the 24th of July  1911. At that time, all the rest of the world became aware of its existence. However, the site was covered with thick vegetation so Hiram Bingham along with his team returned and within the years of 1912 and 1915 cleared its surface. Over the years, plenty of work has been done on excavating and studying the site. Despite these efforts, many unanswered questions remain.

Extra Information
Detail

Choquequirao to Machu Picchu Trek Tips


Optimal for trekking from Choquequirao to Machu Picchu is during the dry season, typically from May to October, in Cusco. Although feasible in the shoulder months, anticipate rain, rock slides, and potential diversions due to washed-out trail sections.

 

Peru's rainy season can wreak havoc, often causing mudslides that devastate trails. Some years ago, an especially harsh season left several villages along the Salkantay Trail in utter despair. The former wild camping spot now lies buried under enormous boulders that have reshaped the once-flat riverside area.

 

Continuously monitor the weather and stay informed about trail conditions, especially if intending to trek this challenging trail without a guide.

 

The closure of the Choquequirao trek during the rainy season due to unsafe hiking conditions, particularly rockslides, is unusual. However, it's advisable to regularly consult the official government website for any current trail closures or updates. Additionally, during the rainy season, the river between Choquequirao and Yanama might rise significantly, potentially becoming impassable.

 

APPROPIATE CLOTHING ALONG THIS HIKE

 

We recommned hiking pants and T-shirts during the day, complemented by sweaters, fleeces and waterproof jackets. It is very convenient to have light raingear available in the daypack (jacket or rain poncho and/or rain pants) as the weather changes easily and rains can suddenly occur. At night, warm clothing is required, down jackets can be useful, otherwise a fleece and a jacket. During the second and five day (if sunny) and in Machu Picchu, convertible hiking pants are useful, as can be switched into shorts if necessary. Machu Picchu has a warm climate, getting only cold at night. You can check “What we recommend that you bring” for more information.

 

WHAT WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU BRING

  • Original passport (+ copies for a case of lost)
  • Original ISIC (an international student card if applicable)
  • Travel insurance (+ copies for a case of lost)
  • Pocket money (Nuevos Soles)
  • A backpack
  • Small rucksack
  • Rain gear (a rain-jacket and a waterproof trousers or a rain poncho - this can be purchased in Cusco),
  • Resistible footwear, waterproof trekking shoes are recommended,
  • Sandals (for a higher comfort while at a campsite),
  • Warm clothes such as a jacket, a fleece (thermal clothing is also recommended for cold nights during camping),
  • Hat or a cap (to protect you against the Sun, rain as well as cold),
  • Sun cream or sun block,
  • After-sun cream or hydrating cream for face and body,
  • Insect repellent – recommended minimum is 20% DEET (please note that no malaria cases have been reported during this trip!),
