Discover two of Peru's most spectacular Inca cities - the fabled Machu Picchu and lesser-known Choquequirao - on a 9-day hiking adventure. Depart from Cusco for the Choquequirao Trek, wandering through lush highland jungle and ascending along steep mountain trails to reach Choquequirao. Spend time touring the remote site and then camp nearby, leaving the following morning for Machu Picchu. Over the next several days traverse across coca plantations and Andean forest, over scenic passes and within wild jungle before reaching the famed citadel. Once here enjoy a guided visit and some solo exploring.
