Ultra Trail Choquequirao – Endurance Race & Hiking Challenge in the Peruvian Andes

Ultra Trail Choquequirao is a once-in-a-lifetime endurance event deep in the Peruvian Andes, combining ultra-distance trail running, high-altitude hiking, and cultural immersion in one of South America’s most spectacular and remote landscapes.

This is not a standard race. Participants journey on foot through multi-day stages, crossing ancient Inca paths, dramatic valleys, and high-mountain terrain to reach the legendary Choquequirao citadel — a site often called the “sister city of Machu Picchu,” accessible only by trail.

Designed for both competitive trail runners and non-competitive hikers, the event allows each participant to choose their own challenge level while sharing the same route, scenery, and logistical framework. Full support is provided throughout the journey, allowing you to focus entirely on performance, recovery, and the experience itself.
