Inka wall, Choquequirao
Choquequirao (of Quechua chuqi, gold, and de k'iraw, cradle, that is to say: "cradle of gold"), are the archaeological remains of an Inca city located between the foothills of the snowy Salcantay, and under the jurisdiction of the district of Santa Teresa, Province of La Convención, Department of Cuzco, southern Peru.
Choquequirao is known as the "sacred sister" of Machu Picchu because of the structural and architectural similarity with it. Recently, being partially excavated, it has awakened the interest of the Peruvian government to recover the complex even more and make it a more accessible alternative for travelers interested in learning more about the Inca culture.
