The Smartest Choquequirao Alternative Tour
Choquequirao is widely considered the best trek in Cusco and the ultimate alternative to Machu Picchu—but the classic trail via Capuliyoc is famous for destroying hikers’ legs.
Our exclusive Choquequirao tour via Quinualla changes the game. By driving you directly to a strategic, higher trailhead, we bypass the most exhausting switchbacks of the canyon. When you hike to Choquequirao with us, you walk less, enjoy safer trails, and get double the time to explore the ancient Inca ruins without the crowds.
| Feature | ❌ The Classic Route (Other Agencies) | ⭐ Our Quinualla Route |
|---|---|---|
| Total Walking Distance | 62 Kilometers (38.5 miles) | Only 32 Kilometers (19.8 miles) |
| Physical Difficulty | Extreme. Punishing vertical drops and climbs. | Moderate. Smooth paths starting closer to the site. |
| Campsites | Crowded, dusty, and noisy mule stations. | Pristine, quiet, and closer to nature. |
| Time in Choquequirao | Rushed 2-3 hours because you are exhausted. | Full day exploring the terraces and hidden sectors. |

Frequently Asked Questions About Choquequirao
Why do other agencies only offer the 62 km trek?
The classic route from Cachora or Capuliyoc is the traditional path used for decades. Many large agencies avoid changing their logistics. We decided to innovate and invest in the Quinualla route to offer a safer, shorter, and much more rewarding alternative for modern travelers.
Is the Quinualla route safe?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, by starting at a higher altitude and avoiding the steepest canyon switchbacks of the classic trail, it reduces the risk of knee injuries and physical exhaustion, making it safer for hikers of moderate fitness levels.
What is included in your private Choquequirao treks?
Our private tours include private transport from Cusco to the trailhead, professional English/Spanish guides, camping equipment (tents, mattresses), all meals prepared by a trekking chef, horses to carry your luggage, and official entrance fees to the archaeological site.
