Choquequirao Trek to Machu Pichu Archaeological Park

CHOQUEQUIRAO THE OTHER MACHU PICCHU

Machu Picchu undoubtedly is considered as the tourist icon of Peru, and of the more than 3 million tourists who visit us a year, more than 98% has the look at Knowing Machu Picchu. However in Peru there are places that can also be considered tourist icon of Peru, but due to the little marketing that is given to them, it does not become known as it is now Machu Picchu.

CHOQUEQUIRAO: Considered by many tourists who visited it like the other Machu Picchu and sometimes many tourists dare to say that it is better than Machu Picchu. The best thing that this archaeological center has is that it can only be accessed Walking there are no railroads or roads that can take you to or near Choquequirao itself, so it is carried out full trekking many tourists consider this crossing as a Pilgrimage, an escape from the routine, a challenge of their own, escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and not being well known sometimes the route is empty (without tourists) and other times you can run into some tourists and these are few . Of course, in some cases the route may be full of tourists (nationals, school promoters and foreign tourists). But most of the year the route is with few tourists.

Choquequirao tour or trek: being a route not very well-known or popular, it is difficult to gather groups, reason why most of times it is operated only in private service, raising in this way the operation costs. As an example only the transportation service from Cusco in a minivan to Cachora which is starting point costs around 300 to 400 dollars per way and another equal for return. At this cost must be added guide fees, Cook, load packs, charge of the loaders commonly called muleteer, also the costs of feeding, tents, gas, agency fee, taxes, etc. All these costs make an organized trip from Cusco to Choquequirao very expensive, and this causes many tourists to be discouraged from doing so and look for other options or try to do it on their own.
