Choquequirao Trek 4 Days.- Choquequirao, the so-called CRADLE OF GOLD, shows its imposing print on a hill at 3100 masl. Its stone walls do not have the fine finish of the temples of Macchupicchu but the seal of the Incan engineers is unmistakable.

They usually start with a bus or van from Cusco to the town of Cachora (Abancay), where the dusty 30 kilometer path leads to the mysterious citadel, located on top of a green and powerful mountain At 3,085 masl

Choquequirao is composed of nine sectors, among them the religious political center, the system of fountains and channels with aqueducts, and the group of covers. It is very necessary to emphasize the religious character of this complex. The architecture is distributed around an esplanade or main square, and is complemented by a very well preserved agricultural andeneria system. The ancient archaeological centers are distributed in the lower part of the Choquequirao hill and are grouped as small villages, separated from each other, following a probable function criterion and social rank.

The archaeological complex is located in the lower part of the mountain or jungle brow, to the northwest of the Apuricmac Canyon.It houses a very unique flora, which is represented by an abundance of jungle-like vegetation. The climate of the area is warm, alternating with cold temperatures, as evidenced by its diversity of fauna and flora. These geographical conditions were exploited prodigiously by the Incas.

Even today, the day is long, but for the growing and overwhelming numbers of people who love challenges, it will be all that is expected. Undoubtedly, one of the best trips that you will never forget in your travels!
