Choquequirao the sacred sister of Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu without hesitation is considered as the tourist icon of Peru, and of the more than 3 million tourists who visit us a year, more than 98% have a look at Meet Machu Picchu. However, in Peru there are places that can also be considered a tourist icon of Peru, but due to the little marketing they are given, it does not become known as Machu Picchu is now. informacion de Choquequirao Trek.

CHOQUEQUIRAO: Considered by many tourists who visited it like the other Machu Picchu and sometimes many tourists dare to say that it is better than Machu Picchu. The best thing about this archeological center is that it can only be accessed by walking as it does not exist, railways or roads that can take you to or near Choquequirao, so it is done full trekking many tourists consider this crossing as a Pilgrimage, an escape from the routine, an own challenge, escape from the bustle of the city, and being not well known sometimes the route is empty (without tourists) and on other occasions one can run into some tourists and these are few . Of course, sometimes the route can be full of tourists (nationals, school promotions and foreign tourists.). But almost the whole year the route is with few tourists.
Choquequirao tour or trek: being a not very well-known or popular route, it is difficult to gather groups, so most of the time it is operated only in private service, thus raising operating costs. As an example, only the transportation service from Cusco in a minivan to Cachora, which is a starting point, costs around 300 to 400 dollars per way and another one equal to return. To this cost must be added the fees of the guide, Cook, freight forwards, fee of the person in charge of the commonly known as arriero, also the costs of food, tents, gas, agency fee, taxes, etc. All these costs make an organized excursion from Cusco to Choquequirao very expensive, and this causes many tourists to be discouraged from doing so and looking for other options or trying to do it on their own.
