Treks Peru, Choquequirao trek extra large, 7 days

Choquequirao trek, Choquequirao, Inca ruins, treks Peru, trekking Peru, Machu Picchu, Cusco, adventure Peru, Cusco trekking, Sweet Travel Peru, Inca, Inca Trail
Choquequirao! Bigger & even more mysterious than Machu Picchu! With still only 10% excavated, there's already sooo much to see!
And groups can camp near the ruins, too! 
Relatively few go here (some 20 People a day, against 5,000 to Machu Picchu), just because this magical place is almost not promoted. 
This may be the one trek that closest resembles the classic Inca Trail. 
Enjoy the Inca magic, the silence & satisfaction, after quite a tough, beautiful trek through a few different micro climates! 
Just scroll for more info & itinerary. 

Here, you can see some more pictures of Choquequirao trek. 

Shorter options (different route): Choquequirao trek, 5 either 4 days. 

Similar trek option: classic Inca Trail, 4 either 2 days. 
Other great treks that don't go to Machu Picchu.
