Choquequirao Trekking to the “Cradle of Gold” is one of the few places that there are almost no people. This Incredible Citadel was built by the Incas in an impossible mountain top, overlooking the beautiful landscapes of the Peruvian Andes. This trek navigates the region’s lush cloud forests and snowcapped mountains. During the 4-day trek, you may see less than a dozen trekkers every day making this place a unique, quiet retreat and very soon will become Peru’s hottest destination.
