The project starts when we really realize that ...
"Tierras Vivas provided an expedition which exceeded my greatest expectations. We took the a road less traveled which gave us access to to spectacular Inca ruins in way we could never have dreamed of - our group had the ruins all to themselves. We heard that the famed Inca trail supports a constant flow of sight-seers, but for five days we were the only foreigners to be found. The Tierras Vivas crew had such a rapport with the locals that we got an up close look at ancient customs and traditions and even got to stay in thatched cabins on several nights. With a landscape that ranged from rain forest, to mountain peaks and glaciers we had a complete snapshot of the best Peru has to offer. If you are looking for a unique and intimate experience of the Andes, separate from the hundreds of tourist that use the Inca Trail daily, Tierras Vivas' Pachamama Ñan expedition is the one for you”.

In the Andean region lies the legendary citadel of Choquequirao, resisting the passage of centuries in the midst of the mountains' sharp boulders and wild vegetation, which still covers almost 80 percent of its surface. Its panoramic view is simply majestic. Imposing snow-peaked mountains and hills covered with the lushest vegetation are located at over 9000 feet, under and intensely blue sky eternally dotted with white clouds, in the realm of the condor and of history. Larger than Machu Picchu, the citadel of Choquequirao represents the latest archeological destination in southeastern Peru. Located 140 km from the Inca capital of Cusco, Choquequirao is a jewel lost in the midst of time, surrounded by imposing snow peaks and deep valleys. Without doubt, an Andean experience that you will never forget!!! There is also an opportunity for horse supported trekking where two legs can be swapped for four.
According to Peruvian archeologists, this lost city was the place where the last Incas who escaped from Cusco, took refuge and resisted 40 years of Spanish invasion. After Manco Inca's defeat in Cusco, the survivors of the once powerful Inca Empire fled to Choquequirao. It was an important political and religious center, where the last descendants of the empire continued to perform its great rituals.
In the time of Tahuantinsuyo, the Incas communicated from town to town resorting in the famous rock based road that endures to this day. Famous examples like the Inka Trail, where walking from km82 will allow you to pass the archaeological remains Llactapata, Runkurakay, Sayacmarca and Wiñayhuayna not to mention the world famous Machupicchu, where the Incas demonstrate wonderous stone based construction. The Inka Trail and Machupicchu, await your visit!
