7-day Choquequirao & Machu Picchu trek

About This Tour

A 7-day private trek across the Apurímac Canyon to Choquequirao — a remote Inca citadel that sees a fraction of Machu Picchu's visitors — followed by Machu Picchu itself. Adapted from a small-group experience — Voyzo runs this exclusively as a private tour for your group only. The centerpiece of this trip is a multi-day trek across the Apurímac Canyon to Choquequirao — a genuinely remote Inca site that gets around 50 visitors a day, compared with Machu Picchu's thousands — before finishing at Machu Picchu itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

This itinerary is adapted from a small-group trekking experience, but Voyzo runs it exclusively as a private tour for your group only, with your own guide and support crew on the trail.

Choquequirao is roughly the same scale of Inca site, but reached only on foot across the Apurímac Canyon — it gets around 50 visitors a day versus Machu Picchu's thousands, so the experience is much quieter.

It's a genuine multi-day trek with steep canyon descents and ascents — the round trip covers roughly 60km, so good fitness matters more than technical climbing skill.

Camping and trekking support (mules, cooks, guides) are included; personal gear like sleeping bags and trekking poles are typically brought by the traveler or arranged as an optional extra — Voyzo will confirm exactly what's provided when you book.

Once your quote is accepted, we'll confirm your exact pickup time, vehicle, and driver details by email ahead of your tour date.
