Without a doubt this is one of the challenging trek in Vilcabamba area in Cusco. Choquequirao has more than history, this was the last Inca refuge where the Incas preserved all knowledge in Andean cosmo vision and astronomy. Choquequirao trek to Machu Picchu is the journey where you will discover the great citadel of the Spanish rebellion leader Tupac Amaru I.
While Machu Picchu is well known, less is known about the Choquequirao complex, which is part of the complex system of Andean towns in Vilcabamba Valley, is situated in the spurs of the mountain range of Salcantay, at 3035 m.a.s.l., surrounded by the snow capped Apus of Yanama, Ampay, Choquetacarpo, Pumasillo and Panta on the right side of Apurimac river. Choquequirao is an Inca town formed by small sites, forming a complex metropolis placed on the crest of the mountain.
