Choquequirao comes from the Quechua whose meaning is “cradle of gold”. This site is believed to be the last place inhabited by the Inca civilization.
Choquequirao is known as the sister of Machu Picchu, due to the similarity in their constructions. To get to this magical place you must hike for two days, ideal for lovers of mystery and hiking.
The Choquequirao Trek takes us to know Choquequirao Inca Site whose meaning in the Quechua language means (Cradle of Gold) is a partially discovered city that belongs to the Inca culture and is located in the south of Peru, exactly in the region of Cusco.
It has a surprising similarity in its structure and architecture to Machu Picchu and is known as the New Machu Picchu for being a large Inca city but still mostly covered in vegetation.
Choquequirao today receives far fewer tourists than Machu Picchu, but the archaeological site is no less charming and is a good alternative to the much-visited citadel of Machu Picchu.
Unlike Machupicchu, Choquequirao cannot be reached by train or bus. The only way to visit the site is to walk from the town of Cachora, about 4 hours by bus from Cusco.
This hike to Choquequirao lasts 04 or more days. This length of days is recommended for a good experience in Choquequirao that way you can visit the area with enough time.
Choquequirao is home to a diversity of animals and birds such as the condor, foxes, vizcachas, pumas, hummingbirds, spectacled bears and the cock of the rocks. In addition, you can find a variety of orchids on the way to Machu Picchu.
It is the highest mountain in Cuzco and the fifth highest in Peru. According to Inca mythology, this mountain and the nearby lakes such as Sibinacocha, it is said that the masculine energy that fertilizes mother earth Pachamama is born here.
The Chillca community made up of llamas and alpacas herders are the guardians of these pristine places, a unique environment.

Despite being an intense hike, every step was worth it for the views and the tranquility of the place. The ruins are impressive and the overall experience was enriching and educational.Highly recommended!Luke Ledger2024-08-29We were enchanted with the country of Peru We recently traveled to Peru with a 5D-4N tour package arranged by Terra Quechua Peru and can't recommend this agency enough. From the very beginning, their customer service was exceptional, helping us customize our itinerary and making sure every detail was covered. If you are looking for a carefree and adventure-filled experience, you should definitely consider booking with them.The tour included visits to some of Peru's most iconic places. We started in Lima, exploring its vibrant streets and discovering its rich history. Then, we headed to Cusco, where we were amazed by the Inca and colonial architecture. The highlight was, of course, Machu Picchu, a wonder that exceeded all our expectations, each day was full of surprises and unforgettable moments THANK YOU VERY MUCH TERRA QUECHUA PERU.Maria M2024-08-29Amazing challenge to the hidden Inka city We just got back from Choquequirao track that we did through Terra Quechua with Renzo, John and team. Tired, happy, impressed by the Inka city!The hike and tour was very well organized, we had comfy houses with wifi and showers, very nice food everywhere and could give the most of our luggage to be carried by horses. So the only thing to care about was hiking itself!Renzo was extremely helpful guide, he told us everything in English which was important for us. He shared a lot of facts, legends and cultural things, which I think is a killer advantage compared to doing it on your own. The price is not much more than what you would spend anyway, bit it's less hustle and more fun with tour!The Inka city is just something very special, with almost no tourists there. We are very happy we did it with Renzo and team! They care for people and do everything to make this track special for you.Freedom362392323922024-08-29Great time in Choquequirao We have just made the Choquequirao trek with Renzo and John and it was amazing! It was my first treking experience, so I was worried about the accommodation and not getting lost, but the guides were really professional -- wherever we came the rooms and the delicious food was waiting for us. Also, for the trek itself it's impossible to get lost as there is only one way forward. Additionally, it was very convenient to offload some stuff to the horses (5kg per person, but in our case it was enough).It's worth noting that it's not an easy trek, you need to be in a good shape, but the views on the empty Inca's ruins totally worth it! One more thing to note is that in the ruins themselves there is quite a bit to explore if you want to see it all, this is something we have underestimated. Some other people in our group took the horses on a way back, which I think made the last day much easier. All in all I would totally recommend it!Jennifer Jolie2024-08-16Excellent experience 😉👌🏼, highly recommended. Traveling to Machu Picchu with children may seem challenging, but Terra Quechua Peru made our trip a memorable experience for the whole family. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with special attention to the little ones, making sure they were comfortable and entertained at all times. The guide adapted the activities to be educational and fun, allowing our children to learn about history and nature in an accessible way. Definitely a family trip that we would recommend to other parents.Chris Joseph Forsythe2024-08-05EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION AND SERVICES My architectural trip to Machu Picchu with Terra Quechua was an enriching experience. The agency not only took us to explore the ruins and admire the impressive Inca architecture, but also gave us an in depth understanding of the construction methods and symbolic meanings behind each structure. It was fascinating to learn about the urban planning and advanced engineering that the Incas employed in the creation of this citadel. I highly recommend this agency to anyone passionate about architecture and ancient history.
