Trekking from Choquequirao to Machu Picchu
Day 134 (November 9, 2018) – Aguas Calientes, Per ú This was and will probably remain one of the greatest hikes we’ve ever done. We took nine days to hike from a trail head outside of a town called Cachora through to the Inca ruins of Choquequirao and onward to Machu Picchu. This took us over 120 km and up and down mountains having over 6,000 meters of elevation gain and 7,000 meters of descent. There was a lot of hiking, sore legs, some confusion and uncertainty, but a lot of satisfaction from the breathtaking scenery, mysterious Inca ruins, and of course, finally finishing.
