At Choquequirao Booking we do not sell tours, we create journeys that transform.
We specialize in one of the most authentic and least travelled roads in Peru: the route to Choquequirao, the sister city of Machu Picchu, still hidden among the mountains and free of crowds.
Accompanied by passionate professional guides, we walk in small groups along paths that embrace the heart of the Andes, where each step brings us closer to the imposing and enigmatic Choquequirao, an archaeological site as powerful as it is sacred, which only those who really seek to connect with the essentials reach.
During the tour, we stayed in cozy family cabins with unique views of the majestic Apurimac Canyon. We are committed to sustainable and respectful tourism, where every night under the stars and every conversation with local communities enrich the experience beyond tourism.
Choquequirao is waiting for you, and not everyone arrives.
