Our ultimate objective is the magical Inca site of Choquequirao, where a visit today is considered to offer the same experience as that of visiting Machu Picchu in 1915. Many routes to Choquequirao start with a gruelling ascent but we avoid this by starting from Vitcos, the old capital of the Incas in exile. Firstly though we visit the Sacred Valley and take the train to explore magnificent Machu Picchu. With benefit of our acclimatisation we now begin our trek through the Cordillera Vilcabamba, a region of towering snow capped peaks, high mountain passes and hot tropical valleys. The Condor City of Choquequirao is located high on a ridge at almost 1,750m/5,775ft and our two nights camping on the terraces or nearby ruins here, is a fitting climax to a truly exceptional trip.
