The hike was insane, but absolutely worth it. A four day trek to Choquequirao, Machu Pichu's sister city, an Incan ruin that is actually larger than Machu Pichu at 1800 hectares (Ill leave the metric math to you dear reader). We departed bright and early from Cusco, (430 AM) to bus out to the town of Charo, where the trailhead begins. Charo was a charming little dusty red tile town in the mountains, with almost nothing besides a central plaza where some local women were chattering away in Quechu

A Spanish team from Cenit Expeditions arrived to Peru in order to investigate the Inca site of Choquequirao (Cradle of Gold) in the region of Cusco, where 33 geometrical figures of llamas made with white stones have been uncovered from the dense vegetation that covers most of the walls and buildings of the site. These figures are not found in other Inca constructions but in earlier cultures, as is the case with the Chachapoyas that flourished in northern Peru. Choquequirao is referred as Mach

Choquequirao (Southern Quechua: Chuqi K’iraw, Cradle of Gold) is a partly excavated ruined city of the Inca in the south of Peru. It bears a striking similarity in structure and architecture to Machu Picchu and is referred to as its ’sister’. Choquequirao receives far fewer tourists than its sister but the ruin is no less delightful and is a good alternative to the sometimes overcrowded Machu Picchu. The ruins at Choquequirao are comprised of buildings and terraces at different levels from t

The trek to Choquequirao was the highlight of the trip–the reason for going. Getting to Cuzco was so that we could get to the starting point for the four-day hike in the Andes. Choquequirao itself was an Incan city built after Manchu Picchu. Whereas Manchu Picchu served as a city for the royal class and a religious center, Choquequirao was an army center in addition to having a royal estate and religious significance. It was built in the final days of the Incan empire, as the Spanish and their a

Recorrer los 32 Km. que separan el pueblo de Cachora a Choquequirao, es lo más duro que le ha tocado a la mayoría de viajeros, que salimos el pasado feriado largo, con el grupo Wayra. Pero a pesar de haber sufrido mil penurias queda la gran satisfacción de haber conocido el último refugio de los Incas del Cusco, todavía abierto a les viajeros que no vamos con agencias de turismo. Aunque sólo un 30 a 40% está excavado y restaurado, Choquequirao, la llamada CUNA DE ORO, muestra su imponente es
