Why you should hike the Choquequirao?

The Choquequirao is an archaeological site

located on a remote area in the Vilcabamba mountain range.

This situation is ideal for those who would like to trek in the Cusco region but do not want to deal with the noisiness of a crowded route. Unfortunately, the government has decided to build a trolley that will cut the trek to ruins down to a 20-minute ride which allow swarms of people to access the site. Although the construction of the trolley has not yet commenced, if you have any aspiration to cross this trek from your bucket list, now is the time to plan your journey. If you wait too much longer, the option to walk the remote path may be taken from you.
