Choquequirao

The Choquequirao Ruin site is one of the ancient lost Inkan Cities that Hiram Bingham discovered in 1909.

Choquequirao is a fascinating trek that goes into the Apurimac canyon. It is the distant and little-visited “Lost City of the Incas.” The meaning of the name in Quechua is “the Golden Cradle” and was the place where the last Inca rulers went after losing the city of Cusco during the Spanish conquest. This Inca archaeological site is considered “The Sister of Machu Picchu.”
