Choquequirao - The Lost Inca City, Peru [Amazing Places]

Choquequirao - The Lost Inca City. Similar in structure to Machu Picchu, but much less accessible, it is called also Machu Picchu's sister city. Choquequirao is reached by two day hike from Cachora or three day from Colcapampa (another video covers this spectacular hike). Recorded November 6-7th, 2012 in HD with Panasonic TM900.

For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”. KZbin does not allow a direct link. Search by the article title.

These places are just astonishing. Especially (to me at least) the megalithic parts. It gets my imagination working, thinking about who might have built what the Inca built over top of, and how they would have done it. These have got to be the most scenic ancient ruins on earth, too... hard to top the top of a mountain... after all.

Yes, quite special place and it is so magical when no other people roam around. Soon will be visited somewhat more - road works to Yanama were in progress at the time I was there. This will make the hike more widely accessible.

Choquequirao, la otra ciudad de piedra construida en la primera mitad del siglo XV, importante por su significado histórico Choquequirao fue centro religioso, político y social en la época incaica y se convirtió en un eje de intercambio cultural y económico entre la costa y la sierra. La ciudadela está ubicada a 3,033 m.s.n.m., en el distrito de Santa Teresa, provincia de La Convención, Cusco (límite con Apurímac) y ocupa 1810 Has. Según las crónicas posconquista, Choquequirao sirvió de refugio a los incas durante más de 40 años, desde 1536, durante la resistencia a los invasores españoles.

Wonderful..for this to be built had to be a collaboration of so many people .. as if the sea's beneath were lifting wherever they originated from or' vast droughts drove them to moist climate. The anormaty of such a place must have been a life or death struggle to have lived through the change let alone the construction.. What a wonderful place Ureeka maybe.

[@thyridopteryx]

Have been to Machu Picchu but not here. Agree there have been two previous but different civilizations in Peru. The first, a long, long time ago built with megaliths that are found on other continents. All sites where the first culture existed shows an abrupt end marked by unfinished projects at each site suggesting a global catastrophe that obliterated everything associated except the megaliths. The second society had an enormous building program, trails, terraces, buildings that is absolutely massive in terms of area and locations in Peru and it is hard to account for the mega-millions of stones used for these projects. We know it was the Incas at the end but construction likely occurred over a thousand years or more and we do not know whether it was an identifiable culture that slowly filled in after extinction of the megaliths builders. This type of stone construction is labor intensive and moving the stone takes time hauling (how?) up mountain sides. A hard look at these multiple sites really suggests this building program was over a very long period of time.
