CHOQUEQUIRAO - ARCHAEOLOGICAL COMPLEX THE SECOND MACHUPICCHU
CUSCO - PERU
Choquequirao
Quechua name meaning "Golden Cradle," although
this is probably not its original Inca name, the mysterious
and dazzling Inca city of Choquequirao is located
in the beautiful landscape of the Vilcabamba range
over the Apurimac River Canyon, It is another "lost
city of the Incas" located high on a ridge spur
almost 1750m above the raging glacier-fed Apurimac
River and surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks.
According to historians, Choquequirao was the dwelling
of the last rebel Incas of Vilcabamba, and like Machupicchu
, the Spanish were thought never to have discovered
it. Hiram Bingham visited the site in 1910. This was
his first experience of "lost cities" prior
to his discovery of Machu Picchu in 1911. This route
offers us a formidable trek across diverse ecosystems.
We will enjoy beautiful views of the snow-capped peaks
of the Vilcabamba Range.
