Choquequirao the visit you didn’t know you needed

Choquequirao is an archaeological complex located in the mountains, specifically in the Vilcabamba mountain range, and it is the last fortress built by the Incas before the Spanish conquest.

We have the possibility of arriving with the trek to Choquequirao, which for four days and three nights will make us discover the nature, history and culture of Cusco in a unique way.

Thanks to the time of the pandemic, the tour has become a trend for international travelers looking for an alternative where staff mismanagement allows them to remove their masks and is now a closed destination.

Facts you didn’t know about Choquequirao

To encourage you to enjoy the Choquequirao experience, here are some facts that you did not know about one of the wonders of Cusco.

Its rediscovery and its popularity.

Choquequirao was «discovered» and popularized throughout the world by the same American archaeologist behind Machu Picchu: Hiram Bingham.

It was in 1909 that the American explorer recorded his discovery in the Vilcabamba mountains, just seven years after Machu Picchu, which occurred in 1902.

However, the popularity of Choquequirao had to deal with the popularity of Machu Picchu, which grabbed all the news around the world and remains in the dark to this day.

It is difficult for him to gain popularity. Machu Picchu must be one of the most difficult tasks that exist in the tourist world, but it is an excellent option for those who want to know more about the Inca culture.
