9:00 am recojo desde su hotel para dirigirnos a cachora donde compraremos lo que nos aga falta apoyando la economía local y continuamos a capuliyoc donde nos estarán esperando nuestro arriero y guía que nos acompañara durante los días de viaje .
En capuliyoc será nuestro almuerzo desde aquí tendremos una caminata de 3 horas hasta nuestro primer campamento chiquiscca donde disfrutaremos de una cena y descansaremos para el dia 2 que sera el mas difícil .
We will have breakfast very early, we will leave Chiquiscca to continue our adventure at 5 am, we will walk 1 hour to Rosalinda beach, we will cross the Apurimac river and we will begin the zigzag climb, which is the most rigorous, this climb takes approximately 5 hours, it is important to leave early so as not to be punished for the morning heat.
We arrive at Marampata we will have our lunch and dinner and we will rest after doing such a feat here we will regain strength that we still need a little more to reach Choquequirao.
We leave the camp very early so as not to miss any detail of the citadel and after an hour and a half walk we arrive at Choquequirao. Here we will have about 4 hours to visit its main sectors and ceremonial centers. Being in Chocoquirao is a unique experience since you have the citadel just for you most of the time and you can perceive its mystery through every corridor, every stairway during your tour.
We finish our tour at approximately 11 am and return to Marampata for our lunch and begin the descent to Rosalinda beach and then to Chiquiscca at approximately 6:30 pm there will be our 3rd camp and our dinner.
