HL- 09 CHOQUEQUIRAO - MACHUPICCHU
(9 Days / 8 Nights)

This lost city, whose name means “cradle of gold” in Quechua was one of the last refuges of the Incas in times of the conquest and fascinated 20th century explorers like Hiram Bingham who visited it two years before he discovered Machu Picchu. Long ago abandoned and taken over by the lush vegetation of the cloud forest it has only been cleared and restored partially over the last couple of years and there is still a lot to discover about this enigmatic site. In this adventurous expedition over long ago abandoned Incan Roads off the beaten paths, climbing high passes and exploring the mysteries of the rich cloud forest, we combine the 2 mayor archaeological groups in the area: Remote Choquequirao that is seldom visited with the famous and legendary Machupicchu. A unique adventure that brings you back to the fascinating past of this area and makes you want to explore more.
