With few crowds, trekkers can immerse themselves in Incan history and marvel at the untouched wilderness. The route is graced with sweeping vistas of the Andes, culminating in a visit to the iconic Machu Picchu. Guided by local experts, this package ensures you experience both solitude and awe-inspiring archaeological wonders.

The trek to Choquequirao was a backlist adventure for me, it was a deep connection with nature that feeds the soul. The hike was challenging as well as the camping, but everything went so smoothly and every detail was taken care of, so I only had to focus on me having a fun time, getting to be part of a team, and learning about place while absorbing delicious food, information, and the natural world. Also, I am older than many but age didnt matter, we were a team of people having the same goals. A magical experience!
The guide really made it a great experience, the rest of the crew was nice as well although I didn't get much chance to interact with them.
G-Adventures showed us an awesome time in Peru! The guides were experienced and knowledgable, the memories will last a lifetime!
Overall, it was the trip of a lifetime. Cusco and Choque, the Andes in general, are stunning. I only wish I?d had more time to rest, more time to get from point A to point B? it felt very rushed. And more time at the ruins. I loved the food and our guide, and the opportunity to experience the people and the country was amazing.
