Description:

Los 3 Balcones is a full service for the rrek to Choquequirao. They have a hospedaje and restaurant and can provide guides, mules and camping equipment. It is owned by a Peruvian currently resident in San Francisco, and he is hence quite progressive. In particular he is keen to stop tourists just passing through Cachora en route from Cusco to the trail and instead invest their money in Cachora. Given most Cusco tour operators require a 4am start, he promotes the idea of staying a night in Cachora with the slogan "Stop Tourist Abuse"!
