Our day will begin with a 4-hour hike uphill to reach Marampata, located at an altitude of 9550 feet (2911 m). On this trek, you will have the opportunity to visit sugar cane farms, where the locals produce “Cañazo”, a local alcoholic beverage with a long tradition that has been given to cities like Cusco over the centuries.

After the morning hike, we will stop for a comforting lunch at a local lodge, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and river.

After replenishing our energy with a tasty lunch, we will continue ascending for another 2 hours until we reach Choquequirao, located at an altitude of 3057 m (10029 ft). This spectacular Inca site, located in the Peruvian Andes, was one of the last Inca cities built in the cloud forest. During the conquest of Peru, it may have been one of the entrance controls to Vilcabamba, the last Inca capital in the 16th century.

Today, our camp is located right next to this fascinating archaeological site, giving us the opportunity to explore these mysterious places at our own pace and enjoy the serenity they offer.
