RE: Why I chose to leave Italy and travel south America
Hey Alex, great to see you are traveling through South America. If you are in Peru, you should try to visit Choquequirao. It is also calles "Machu Pichu's sister" because of the similarities. However, it is less crowded than Machu Pichu and in very good condition. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy your trip.
Hey! Thanks for the tips! I've heard about it, do you know if you can get there hiking couple of days? Should I do Choquequirao insted of Machu Pichu or do both ? What do you think?
If you have the time to do both, I would recommend to also hike the Machu Picchu because it is also very impressive. The Choquequirao is more challenging to hike that's why there are not that many tourists. For the hike you would need around 4-6 days (hiking up and down is between 60 and 70 km).
