Some of the impressive features of Choquequirao, are the amazing stone walls protecting it, the greenness of their fabulous land shelves, and the entire atmosphere charged with energy probably coming from old ceremonies the Inkas used to perform to please the Sun god.
Spectacular and distant, lonely and forgotten, Choquequirao ( 3,085 m.a.s.l.) is built at the top of a mountain almost untouched in the province of La Convención, department of Cusco. This fact explains why it was hidden for so long. The last resistance point of the Sun's children who were looking for shelter under its stone walls when Manco Inca, the rebel Inca, was defeated.
