Perched more than 3,000 meters above sea level in the Peruvian Andes, Choquequirao is one of the most remarkable achievements of Inca engineering. Built on the edge of one of the world's deepest canyons, this vast archaeological site required an extraordinary effort to construct. Why did the Incas choose such a remote and challenging location? Through the work of French and Peruvian archaeologists, this documentary explores a fascinating theory: that Choquequirao was part of a sacred geography, a vision of the world carefully inscribed into the Andean landscape itself.
