Choquequirao (choquequiraw) is located in the Vilcabamba Valley in the province of La Convencion – Cusco at an altitude of 3300 meters above sea level. and at 1500 m. over the roaring waters of the Apurimac River.

According to the chronicles Choquequirao was the last Inca refuge starting in 1536.

Choquequirao comes from the meaning chuqui which means gold and from the word k’iraw which means cradle, that is, “Cradle of Gold”. This archaeological center is considered the sacred sister of Machupicchu for being as important as Machupicchu, for its architecture and construction design, it is a ceremonial center of the Inca elite, dedicated to the worship of the gods of the mountain, the river and nature. . Its construction is made up of terraces, buildings on different levels, the lower one is known as sunch’u pata.

CHOQUEQUIRAO: Considered by many tourists who visited it as the other Machu Picchu and sometimes many tourists dare to say that it is better than Machu Picchu. The best thing about this archaeological center is that it can only be accessed by walking because there are no railways or roads that can take you to Choquequirao itself or near it, so it is done full trekking as it is a not very well-known route. or popular, it is difficult to bring groups together, so most of the time it operates only in private service,

Trekking to the Choquequirao Archaeological Site is an unparalleled experience that leaves all hikers with memories and unforgettable scenarios. The majesty of the landscapes that can be seen on the trek is astonishing, the biodiversity of flora and fauna that can be admired throughout the route is unique. The remote location of the ruins along with their beauty makes Choquequirao a mysterious and charming tourist destination that, unlike Machu Picchu, has not yet been discovered by the masses of tourists.
