The Choquequirao hike is very fascinating and one of the most popular trips in the Cusco area. And it is not a surprise, since it is surrounded by fantastic natural landscapes with valleys, snow covered mountains and an incredible variety of plants, birds and animals.
It is located on the spur of the Salkantay mountain range, more than 3030 meters above sea level, surrounded by the Apus (mountain gods) of Yamana, Ampay, Chokecarpu, Pumasiyo and Panta, on the left bank of the Apurimac River. During the time of the Incas, everything was connected and in communication with Machu Picchu through a complex network of trails.
