Choquequirao also known as the sister of Machupichu, is an incredible city built by the Inca empire during its heyday. It is a city in ruins that still reflects all the brilliance and magnificence that surrounded the ancient Inca civilization.
This great place is located in the foothills of the Nevado Salkantay, in a valley called Apurímac, resting in the entire Urubamba river canyon.
