Choro Inka Trail -3days

3 Days 2 Nights
The Choro Inka Trail hike is within the National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area Cotapata. The trail was an ancient Inca trade route used in pre-Colombian times and today passes by Inca ruins. The road follows a transitional landscape, beginning in the grey rocky, snow-capped Andean pass of La Cumbre right the way down into the lush green tropical forest in the Yungas where waterfalls aplenty flow into the Chucura and Huarinilla River. Nowadays it provides walking access (and even cycling or driving!) between towns in La Cumbre to the small remote villages in the valley below. The path ends in Chairo village but the road access for cars ends at the hamlet of Chucura community ahead of where the path crosses a river before Camp Challapampa. The highest point of the hike is La Cumbre, at an eye watering  (4,700 m 15,419 ft.). The views from here are unmissable, a stunning cross-section between the Andean Range and the Amazon rainforest. The total distance of the hike is 42 km. approximately long from Chucura community to Chairo village and is typically walked in 3 days.
