Package PC038
: Choquequirao trek
05 days / 04 night
DAY 1: CUSCO - LIMATAMBO – KACHORA – PLAYA ROSALINA
We will leave Cusco at 4 am. for a four hour drive. Arriving at Cachora
town around 8 am where we will have our breakfast. Here we meet the
horsemen and we arrange our equipment on mules and horses. From this
village (Cachora) in just 2 hours hike we get to Capuliyoc (2915 m) from
where we have the first beautiful views of the Apurimac valley
stretching below as well as the snow capped mountains of Padrayoc and
Wayna Cachora. We then descend towards Coca Masana (2330 m.), where the
climate becomes warmer and the vegetation begins to change. Finally we
arrive at Playa Rosalina (Rosalina beach) at 1550 m beside the Apurimac
River where we will set up our camp and spend the night.
The approximate hike time is 10 hours and is 21 km.
DAY 2 : PLAYA ROSALINA - CHOQUEQUIRAO
The second day is considered the hardest one of the five days. We will
have an early breakfast to start our trekking and in about 5 hours we
reach to Raqaypata. This is near the Chunchullmayo river where we will
have our lunch and siesta. Along this trail we are going to see
beautiful orchids and wild flowers as well as Andean birds. From this
point it is just two more hour´s hike to Choquequirao (3035 m). With
good luck we will enjoy the sunset and maybe the opportunity to spot the
world´s largest bird, the Andean Condor. We spend the night just outside
of the ruins.
DAY 3 : CHOQUEQUIRAO – RAQAYPATA.
After an early breakfast we start exploring the majestic ruins of
Choquequirao. Our guide will explain the history and importance of the
site. We will observe the three levels of the excavated ruins, where we
can appreciate houses, terraces and other parts of this Inca-town.
Choquequirao is called (The last refuge of the Inca empire) in the
oldest known report assigned to Juan Arias Diaz, one of the first people
to explore the zone in 1710.
Late in the afternoon we will start the return trek and spend the night
at Raqaypata.
DAY 4 : RAQAYPATA – COCA MASANA.
Immediately following breakfast, we continue our return trek with a
steep descent toward the Apurimac River. Here we will have our lunch. On
the way we are going to see again the beautiful snowcapped mountains and
the verdant landscape.
In the afternoon we have a 4 hour up hill hike to our last campsite at
Coca Masana (2330 masl).
DAY 5 : COCA MASANA – CACHORA – CUSCO.
After breakfast we have the last 3 hours uphill to Capulilloq (2915 m).
From here the trail is fairly flat up to the village of Cachora.
We will say goodbye to our horsemen and take the bus back to Cusco.
On the way we stop at the archaeological site of Tarawasi and the white
stone of Saywite, where we will eat lunch. A 4-hour bus ride brings us
back to Cusco, and the end of this trip.
