The experience with Mega Expeditions was amazing! From the moment we booked with them they cared about every detail to make everything perfect! If the trekking was wonderful in charge of Renso, with great food and also good accommodation! The hike is hard but all the effort is worth it, you have amazing views of the whole valley and when you get to Choquequirao it is amazing 👏! I totally recommend the experience with Mega Expeditions!! Thanks for everything 👌
Wow! This is the most amazing adventure! Four days of remote area and beautiful panoramas. The staff are awesome! They make sure that everyone is well taken care of and having a great adventure. The food is true Peruvian cuisine and is delicious! The other hikers were a great group. We became more like family with this great adventure! The city of Choquequirao is a fabulous hidden gem! Entering the gate to the city prepares you for the things to come. The spacious terraces, massive stones, and endless stairways radiate an energy of a powerful civilization. The sector of the llamas is unique and so wonderful! The trail to access this amazing city is equally impressive! It is a trial of strength, spirit, and pure determination. I was told it is rated the most difficult hike in Peru! If you enjoy hiking and are up to the challenge you definitely must do this adventure!
It was an awesome trip and hike in Choquequirao with our tour guide and his team. Choquequirao Wasi provided excellent service.And the food was great! Really appreciate the campsite people their hard work . Highly recommended.
The Choqequirao trek was an unforgettable experience. Over 4 days and probably 70 kilometers through rugged trails in the Andes l, the hike was both physically and mentally demanding. The views were stunning and the isolation of the ancient ruins made it feel like you are privileged to be one of the people that gets to see it. Unlike Machu Pichu there was hardly any crowds so you have the opportunity to take pictures and appreciate the beauty and history. Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English and Spanish and added a lot of context to what is known about Choquequirao. Be prepared for steep climbs and long days, it is not easy to get there, but if you’re up for the challenge it’s absolutely worth it. Highly recommended for adventure seekers.
Choquequirao is trully one of the last hidden gems, with almost no tourists compared to Machu Picchu. Which gives it a more authentic feeling in my eyes. On the way itself you will also have spectactular views. We were also lucky to see an old ceremony.
