Choquequirao

Choquequirao, often referred to as the other Machu Picchu, is an ancient Inca site located in the Cusco region of Peru. Nestled in a remote and spectacular setting, the ruins are framed by Andean peaks at every angle. Reaching Choquequirao requires a challenging 2-day hike, which contributes to its status as one of the least-visited Inca sites. The name, translating to ‘Cradle of Gold,’ hints at its historical significance. Today, visitors who undertake the journey are rewarded with a serene and unspoiled archaeological experience, offering a glimpse into the rich Inca heritage.
