Beautiful
and
recommendable
trek!
However,
much
information
and
many
comments
are
outdated,
there
are
many
changes
since
pre-Covid!!
Most
villages/farms
along
the
way
are
desserted,
so
there
is
NO
food
available
along
the
entire
trek!
Water
was
available
for
purchase
at
3
locations,
however,
this
is
dependent
on
whether
the
locals
are
home
and
often,
there
are
only
a
few
bottles
available.
We
filled
up
water
at
every
possibility
(waterfalls,
streams,
river)
to
3
litres
per
person
and
that
worked
well.
It
is
important
to
know
that
although
the
hike
is
along
the
river,
the
river
is
often
quite
far
below
or
next
to
the
trail
with
jungle
in
between,
so
it
can
not
be
reached
in
those
cases.
I
would
recommend
to
bring
food
for
3
days
and
enough
drinkable
water
tablets
for
at
least
4
days,
just
in
case.
Camp
grounds
are
often
desserted
and
sometimes
even
locked.
If
there
is
an
owner
there,
be
prepared
to
pay
between
5
and
15BOB
per
person
for
a
night
of
camping.
We
hiked
the
El
Choro
trek
beginning
of
October,
2023
and
met
only
7
locals
during
the
entire
3
and
a
half
days
we
were
hiking,
and
no
other
tourists.
Download
the
trek
on
OSM
(Open
Street
Maps)
before,
Google
Maps
doesn't
help
and
there
is
no
reception
along
the
entire
way.
The
map
provided
by
the
tourist
information
center
in
La
Paz
is
not
accurate,
the
trail
doesn't
only
go
downwards
but
has
quite
a
few
uphill
sections
in
reality.
We
found
a
better
map
along
the
way,
that
also
includes
important
landmarks
and
hiking
times
inbetween
them.
We
took
1.3
times
as
long
as
was
indicated
due
to
our
heavy
backpacks,
some
a
bit
slippry
stone
parts,
and
further
down
the
high
temperatures.
Don't
let
this
scare
you
off
though,
it's
an
absolutely
beautiful
path!
From
the
top
above/in
the
clouds
with
the
alpaca
herds
down
to
the
dense
jungle
-
it's
an
amazing
experience
for
sure!
