Choquequirao Peru

In Choquequirao the Incas of the Vilcabamba valley took refuge after the arrival of the Spanish, in their last attempt to reconquer their kingdom. Its name means "Cradle of Gold" and its beauty and greatness is compared to Machu Picchu.

 

 

Getting to Choquequirao is not easy: it takes 4 to 5 days of hiking and you have to camp along the way, but the reward upon arrival is indescribable.
