This is a trek for hikers, history lovers and adventurers! The 9-day Choquequirao trek to Machu Picchu via Vilcabamba is Apus Peru’s signature trek. This tour follows a completely innovative route, pioneered by Apus Peru, deviating from the standard Choquequirao to Machu Picchu route taken by other agencies.
One of the most challenging and spectacular hikes in all of Peru, you’ll have the chance to visit the stunning Choquequirao ruins without the crowds, travel along original Inca trails, and visit the last refuge of the Incas: Vilcabamba. The 9 day Choquequirao trek culminates in a visit to the unforgettable Machu Picchu. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Please note: The Choquequirao to Machu Picchu treks are the MOST difficult treks in the region. Make sure you fully understand what each day of trekking is like before you sign up for any of these treks, and ensure that you are equipped to face the challenge.

Words from the group:
Virginia: "I am a 68 yr old New Zealand-born Australian resident, proud and adoring grandmother to 4 grandkids, a part time singing teacher, and an avid Hiker.
Every year I do several hikes, usually in beautiful New Zealand. Last Year was an exception - I hiked the gorgeous Thorsborne Trail on Hinchinbrook Island in Queensland, Australia, and an amazing 13-day trek in the Nepali Himalayas in a 15-strong group (so much fun meeting other international adventurers!). Come join me and Valerie."
Valerie: "I am a 68 year old retired librarian from Minneapolis, Minnesota and also a proud grandmother to three grandchildren. After a 37 year career as an academic librarian, I now enjoy spending my time on as much adventure travel as possible. I am a lifelong camper and hiker and am now enjoying the challenge of longer treks. Last year I undertook a 13 day trek in the Everest region of Nepal where I met my trekking friend Ginny. This summer I am backpackinging a short section of the Pacific Crest Trail in Oregon, and am then tackling the Teton Crest Trail in Wyoming."
