Some of the impressive features of Choquequirao, the other Machu Picchu, are the amazing stone walls protecting it, the greenness of their fabulous land shelves, as well as the entire atmosphere charged with energy probably coming from old ceremonies where they adored the Sun.
It was built at the top of a mountain almost untouched in the province of La Convención, department of Cusco.
Choquequirao is divided in two zones and its stone buildings form small villages. The governor's houses and the main temple are located around its main square. Researchers state that the complex has been an important religious, politic and economic centre as well as a commercial and cultural link among the Coast, the Highlands and the Jungle.
