Choquequirao
Choquequirao means ‘Cradle of Gold‘. Located 3085 meters (10,120 feet) above sea level, Choquequirao sits on the border of Cuzco and Apurimac. 180 terraces made up a staircase configuration in this Inca ruin.
Choquequirao is much larger in the area compared to the Machu Picchu, which was built in a completely different style. Choquequirao is visited much less often than Machu Picchu because one can only travel there by foot or horseback. The trek to Choquequirao from Cachora can take up to four days without the benefit of wheels.
