Itinerary
Day 1 : Cusco - Cachora - Chikiska
Drive from Cusco to Cachora village where trek starts. After having lunch, trail down into the Apurimac canyon. Overnight in Chikiska, a small mountainside settlement with beautiful views down into the Apurimac valley.
Day 2 : Chikiska to Choquequirao
Depart from your campsite at Chikiska and continue your trek across the Apurimac River and pass through the communities of Santa Rosa and Maranpata. In the evening, we will arrive at our campsite, located right near the ruins of Choquequirao.
Day 3 : Choquequirao to Chikiska
After breakfast at your campsite, head out to visit the ruins. With few other tourists around, explore the main plaza, ritual bath, and inlaid stone llamas at the ruins of Choquequirao.
