Feeding 4D3N CHORO TREK
HIGHLIGHTS:
- The most popular trekking which links the high plateau with the humid lowlands.
- Cobbled trails zigzagging down to the area of the Yungas
- Pristine waterfalls and suspended bridges.
- Reach an altitude of 4,874m and descend to 1,274m
It is one of the best treks, in terms of pre-colonization conservation. 30 % of the trek is on a cobble-stone laid street, which presumably was built in the pre-Inca era, in order to link the High-Plateau with that of the Yungas valleys.
This pre-Columbian trail is one example of the Tiwanaku and Inca cultures’ skill, to build paved roads that linked the mountainous high plateau with the sub-tropical Yungas area. Many rivers that spring from The Andes pour its waters into the great Amazon River. In the trek, we will witness a variety of birds, pendulous bridges and exotic flowers.
