Choquequirao to Machu Picchu trek

A 9 day trek through the Peruvian Andes. Leaving from Cusco and heading to Cachora, where we left for the 9 day hike. Not before getting a flat though of course. Over the 9 days we treked up and down the Andes hiking a little over 100km or about 60miles. We saw lush green forest, flowing rivers, arid grasslands, and stunning mountain peaks. Along the way we visited Choquequirao, a Inca site, recently discover. It is about 25 percent uncovered and is 2-3 days hike, with no other access. After 9 days of hiking, including summiting Yanama Pass at 4700m or 15,453 feet, we reached the sacred city of Machu Picchu.
