The Site of Choqek’iraw, located at an altitude of 3,100 meters in the Peruvian Andes, has often been considered “the other Machu Picchu” since its rediscovery in the mid-19th century.

Thanks to recent archaeological excavations, Choqek’iraw offers one of the best ways to study the Inca civilization, which constituted the largest empire in pre-Columbian America.
