Authentic Adventure with Peru Culture Horizons

Discover one of Peru’s most extraordinary hidden gems with Peru Culture Horizons. The Choquequirao Trek 4D/3N takes you through the spectacular Apurímac Canyon to the remote Inca citadel of Choquequirao, often called the “sister city of Machu Picchu.”

With Peru Culture Horizons, we also customize this trek — ask us about extensions to Machu Picchu or longer itineraries combining Choquequirao & Vilcabamba.

Unlike Machu Picchu, Choquequirao receives only a handful of visitors each day, making this trek a truly authentic and uncrowded experience. With our local expert guides, you’ll explore stunning Inca terraces, temples, and plazas while enjoying breathtaking mountain views.

Duration: 4 Days / 3 Nights
Difficulty: Challenging (steep climbs/descents)
Max Altitude: 3,050 m (Choquequirao)
Best Season: April – October (dry season)
Style: Trekking, culture, camping

👉 The perfect choice for travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path Inca adventure in Cusco.
