Choquequirao

Hello kiddo! Today we are going to learn about a very interesting place called Choquequirao that is located in Peru. It is a very important archaeological site that was once a sacred place for the Incas.

Choquequirao was built more than 600 years ago, and it is hidden deep in the mountains, which makes it very difficult to get to. The name Choquequirao means "Cradle of Gold" in the Inca language. This is because it is said that this place was full of gold and treasures, but sadly most of it was taken by Spanish conquerors many years ago.

Nowadays, Choquequirao is a very important heritage site that has been preserved for many years. Scientists and historians are very interested in this place because it is an important part of our history.

When you visit Choquequirao, you will see many fascinating things, such as huge stone walls that were carved by hand. You will also see many different buildings that were used by the Incas for religious ceremonies and other important events. If you are lucky, you might even see some llamas wandering around the area!

Visiting Choquequirao is not easy, but it is definitely worth it. It is a great adventure that will teach you a lot about history and the importance of preserving our past.
