The private transfer from your hotel in Cusco to Cachora takes between 4 and 5 hours with Taxi Cusco Tours A1, the usual starting point for those beginning the Choquequirao trek on their own.
Cachora is a small mountain town without ATMs, so we recommend withdrawing any cash you’ll need in Cusco before leaving. This transfer is usually scheduled early in the morning so you arrive with time to organize your gear before starting the hike.
Pickup point: your hotel lobby or entrance in Cusco
Route: from Cusco city to Cachora, with sections of mountain road
Drop-off: center of Cachora town
Approximate duration: 4–5 h
The trip includes dirt sections and sharp curves typical of the mountain road toward the Apurímac canyon; our drivers make this route regularly and know which sections require extra caution. It’s also your last chance to buy water, snacks, or any supplies before several days without access to shops.
- Private vehicle, direct from your hotel with no unnecessary stops
- Driver experienced on the Cusco–Cachora route
- Space for large backpacks and trekking gear
- Departure time coordinated with your trek start plan
