Chiquisca is the departure point for the trek to Choquequirao, one of the last Incan cities.

My suggestion

Before setting off on a trek, make sure you have the appropriate equipment and that you're in good physical condition.

The first camping stop on the Choquequirao Trek, between Cusco and Abancay.

The hike involves a constant series of climbs and descents and is therefore physically challenging. Even if you aren't on a tour operator organised trip, the services of a mule-driver will be of welcome benefit, especially if you plan to extend the walk to Machu Picchu.
