DAY 1: CUSCO - CHIQUISCA

We leave Cusco at 6.00 a.m. in our private transport and head towards Cachora, an Andean community located 4-5h from Cusco at 2800m/9184 ft, the starting point of the trek where we meet our muleteers and horses. We begin our hike climbing for two and a half hours to the Capuliyoc pass at 2750m/9020 ft, where we can enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the Apurimac River Canyon. We continue descending for two more hours to Chiquisca, where we will set up camp and spend the night.

DAY 2: CHIQUISCA - CHOQUEQUIRAO

We leave Chiquisca at 6.00 a.m. heading to Playa Rosalina, which will take about an hour. We will then cross the Apurimac River and begin the climb to Santa Rosa, zigzagging up a steep slope. This climb takes approximately 2 hours, and it is important to leave early so that the heat does not make the hike more difficult than it has to be. In Santa Rosa, we will have a half hour rest, where those who wish can try Cambray, an extract of the local sugar cane. Afterwards, we continue our hike slowly climbing for two and a half hours until we reach our lunch spot in Marampata. From here we walk two more hours until we reach the archaeological complex of Choquequirao, located at 3103m/10178 ft, where we will camp, have free time to enjoy and explore the terraces and buildings.

DAY 3: CHOQUEQUIRAO TO ROSALINA BEACH

This morning we will enjoy a complete guided tour of the Choquequirao complex: we will visit the upper part (Hanan), and the lower parts (Urin), and some areas still covered with wild foliage and ready to be restored to the way it was in Inca times. After the tour, we start our hike back to Santa Rosa, where we will have lunch. We continue descending for another 2 hours until we reach Playa Rosalina at 1450m/4756 ft, we camp and have dinner here.

DAY 4: ROSALINA BEACH TO CACHORA

We leave camp after breakfast to begin the two to three hour ascent to Chiquisca, to then make our way back to the Capuliyoca pass, near which we have our lunch. In the afternoon, we continue on our two-hour return trek to Cachora, where a private transport will be waiting to take us back to Cusco. Estimated time of arrival around 9.00 p.m.
