This print captures the essence of Choquequirao, an ancient Inca city nestled in the heart of Peru's Cusco region. The image showcases the majestic Plaza Principal, or main square, adorned with traditional Wasi houses that stand as a testament to the architectural brilliance of Tupac Inca Yupanqui and Huayna Capac. Perched above the breathtaking Apurimac valley and surrounded by the awe-inspiring Salkantay mountain range, Choquequirao exudes a sense of grandeur and mystery. Its ceremonial ruins, characterized by intricate stonework and huacas (sacred sites), offer a glimpse into pre-Columbian Peruvian history. The photograph also highlights the remarkable terraces and kanchas (houses) that once formed this vibrant settlement.
