This is a spectacular hike through the Andes of Peru. You can visit Choquequirao architectural complex, which is located in Vilcabamba at 3100 meters above the sea level, it is considered as the last Inka refuge and the resistance place against the invaders.

You will enjoy a really beautiful scenery and observe the impressive Apurimac Canyon, together with its flora and wildlife along the way.

This is a bit difficult route but on the other hand, it is formidable and beautiful because of the diverse ecosystems it always offers.

The construction of Choquequirao could be attributed to Inca Pachacútec successors. It seemed to be destined for public and ceremonial aims, like the cult to the God Sun, the earth, the water, among others.
