After a steady breakfast we begin our trek uphill during 4 to 5 hours to the campsite of Marampata (2950 m.a.s.l.) where we will have lunch with an amazing view of the Apurimac River. After our lunch we’ll have a complete guided tour of Choquequirao “The Golden Cradle” which is also considered as the sister city of Machu Picchu as they have several similarities.  Choquequirao is hanging 1500 meters above the Apurimac Canyon while Machupicchu is haging over the Urubamba canyon. They are both at the same latitude and they are considered as the principal cities of the Incan era, Choquequirao has more than 8 hectares where only one third has been discovered and where the archaeologists find something new every day. We observe the three levels of the discovered ruins where we can appreciate the urban sector, agricultural terraces and the religious sector if this Incan city. We will also have great opportunities to see the flight of the condor. After visiting Choquequirao we return to our campsite for teatime and then a delicious dinner.

At dawn we have a delicious breakfast before we begin to descend the same way we ascended until reaching our campsite in Chiquisca. We will have lunch halfway to Playa Rosalina and afterwards we go up hill to the campsite in Chikisca.

Today we have breakfast early; at 6:00 a.m. we eat accompanied by the first rays of sun over the Apurimac canyon. After breakfast we begin our 5 to 7 hour long trek to Cachora, we’ll have lunch in Capulichayoq which is half way. Arriving in Cachora we take our bus back to Cusco. The tour ends with transfer to your hotel.
