Strong evidence suggests it was constructed, at least in part, by workers imported from the Chachapoyas culture, the builders of the temple fortress Kuelap in northern Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Machu Picchu, Choqueqirao was built in relationship to a sacred geography, aligning with the June and December solstices, and other cosmic markers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike Machu Picchu, Choquequirao remains off the beaten tourist path, and receives about as many visitors in a year as Machu Picchu does over a weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you suffer from the ancient mysteries bug, this top class back country and high-mountain travel adventure is your cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/podcastblaster.xml\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"362\" height=\"322\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/podcast-rss.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2379\" title=\"podcast-rss\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/podcast-rss.png 362w, https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/podcast-rss-300x266.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/?p=11450\">Listen to an extended interview with Gary about the&nbsp;geo-cosmic architectural features at&nbsp;Choquequirao and its connection to Machu Picchu.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"495\" height=\"461\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/choquequirao-horse-supported-luxury-trek-2014-valley_vista.jpg\" alt=\"Choquequirao horse-supported, luxury treks 2014 fixed departures\" class=\"wp-image-8752\" title=\"Incredible vistas of Andean valleys on the way to Choquequirao\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/choquequirao-horse-supported-luxury-trek-2014-valley_vista.jpg 495w, https:\/\/www.fertur-travel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/choquequirao-horse-supported-luxury-trek-2014-valley_vista-300x279.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choquequirao Trek &amp; Machu Picchu 2016 You can read Gary&#8217;s account of the new Inca ruins that group\u00a0identified, cleared and documented on Peruvian Times!\u00a0 Gary&#8217;s&nbsp;top class luxury journey&nbsp;takes you on less traveled Inca trails, with side visits to several ruins that most tourists never see.&nbsp;The archaeological explanations are extensive, fascinating&nbsp;and understandable, but never&nbsp;oversimplified.
