5-DAY CHOQUEQUIRAO TREK

Yes, to be able to carry out this 5-Day Choquequirao Trek it is important to have an adequate physical condition since the trip itself is very demanding, being prepared helps you enjoy the experience in a comfortable way, the geography of the Inca trail is somewhat unusual since it’s a complete mix of everything between staggered climbs, trails, inclines and steep descents. The best way to prepare for the trip is to establish some routines that can be daily or weekly in terms of walks that help strengthen our resistance in the legs.

The Inca Trail leads us by the traditional route used by the Incas, so the trail takes us into what we currently know as the jungle, for this reason the heat is imminent, light clothing is always the most recommended, to this we must add only 1 or 2 garments that are warm for the nights. Finally, personal items such as power banks, sunglasses, mosquito repellent, rain poncho and others are also important for the trip.

No, because the choquequirao peru trek has a particular condition and it can only be done with a formal company that has a special permit issued by Sernanp (Entity that regulates the natural parks). With these conditions, choosing STONE PATH MACHUPICCHU is the best option because we are direct operators for this service.

The services that we find along the way are basic, this is part of the management of the entities that regulate it, however they give us the comfort of being able to use them if necessary. As for the shower, the water is very cold, so it is not recommended on the road. Our team provides you with a warm towel and water so you can clean yourself every day. When you arrive in Aguas Calientes you can make use of the hot springs that are exceptional to rest your body after the adventure.
