About this experience
The Choquequirao ruins were most likely built during the reign of the Inca king, Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui. They are considered to be the last bastion of resistance and refuge of the Sons of the Sun, who fled from the city of Cusco when it was under siege in 1535. Led by Manco Inca Yupanqui, they took refuge in Choquequirao. Presumably, the place was used as both a check point to access the Vilcabamba Area, and as a cultural and religious centre.

A quality experience, with professionalism and fun
This agency saved us at the last minute when we had to cancel our trek to Choquequirao at the last minute. They are professional and responsible. Being a private tour, the guide was flexible with accommodation bookings accommodating at our pace so we felt it was very personalized. The guide took my gluten-free meal requirement very seriously. While at not all stops they understood the requirements, the guide made sure my food was gluten-free at all times. He also helped a mule when he had problems with the mule along the way. The trek is beautiful and so is Choquequirao. I recommend this company, they are trusted.

Excellent guide and good organization of the trek.
Did this off the beaten track trek after many travellers whom i met in Peru recommended it. It was quite an experience, unlike Machu Picchu, Choquequirao was less touristy and the trek was very nice. Highly recommend this for anyone who like trekking as it does involve some challenging parts, especially on the second day, as it was mostly uphill. Adrian was fantastic guide and was more like a friend. The camping sites were very nice and set amidst scenic settings. Would highly recommend acclimatizing well before the trek though. These were one of the four amazing days I had during my trip to Peru.

Clashquirao with Renzo
We went hiking 4 days/ 3 nights to explore Choquequirao with Renzo. It was very interesting, Renzo has been a very good guide telling the whole story of the Apurima canyon throughout those 4 days. Very good group to cheer up all together, worth it!! I recommend 100%!!
Response from the operator: Nos emociona saber que su trekking a Choquequirao fue tan significativo y que Renzo haya compartido su conocimiento del cañón del Apurímac. ¡Gracias por recomendar nuestra agencia! Esperamos verlos de nuevo pronto.

Best Trek experience
Exceptional experience, discovering a wonderful archaeological site, and in contact with nature and local communities. Our guide Raul made the trek exciting by explaining the history of the site to us and organizing everything perfectly. Physically demanding trek, but worth it! Thanks Raul, thanks Choquequirao, thanks Pachamama!
Response from the operator: Ci riempie di gioia sapere che la tua esperienza a Choquequirao è stata così positiva. Apprezziamo molto le tue parole e il riconoscimento della nostra guida Raúl. Ci impegniamo a offrire esperienze autentiche che colleghino i nostri viaggiatori alla storia, alla natura e alle comunità locali e siamo lieti di sapere di aver raggiunto questo obiettivo con te.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Choquequirao Trek – 4-Day Inca Adventure from Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Choquequirao Trek – 4-Day Inca Adventure from Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $650 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Choquequirao Trek – 4-Day Inca Adventure from Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Choquequirao Trek – 4-Day Inca Adventure from Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Choquequirao Trek – 4-Day Inca Adventure from Cusco?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Choquequirao Trek – 4-Day Inca Adventure from Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 11. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 96-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Choquequirao Trek – 4-Day Inca Adventure from Cusco?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Choquequirao Trek – 4-Day Inca Adventure from Cusco start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
